But if WMF is choosing to actively support and develop
a new platform for
this kind of activity, and continues to not support Wikiversity to do the
same, that’s quite a clear message?
Thanks,
Mike

Yes, the platform is intended to serve the entire
Wikimedia movement!
We plan to pilot with some trusted affiliates first, to iron out kinks
and to take our time co-creating governance structures for the platform
with the broader community. Once those are in place, authoring on the
platform would become available to all Wikimedians.

This is beautiful. Nice to see Open edX in use.
Feels like incentive to package a range of workshops and materials
up in a reusable and discoverable way! Open to WikiEdu + other
community courses also?

Hello everyone,
TheCommunity Development team
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Development>is
pleased to announce the courses that were delivered during the
WikiLearn Pilot <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiLearn>are
now available for self-guided study on the newWikiLearn platform
<https://learn.wiki/>, based on the free software Open edX.

Open
edX
<
https://www.edx.org/?g_acctid=724-505-4034&g_campaign=gs-b2c-us-brand-c…
is
a free software learning management system that was started in
2012, and is developed in Python using the Django framework.
The platform will host courses developed by Wikimedia Foundation
teams on a variety of topics relevant to doing Wikimedia work.
The intended audience of the platform is Wikimedia contributors
of all kinds, and all you need to access the platform is your
existing Wikimedia account. As we continue to evolve some
governance mechanisms for the platform, it will become open for
contribution from all Wikimedia contributors.
You can access the platform at learn.wiki <https://learn.wiki/>
The courses currently available from the Community Development
team are:
1.
Introduction to Building Partnerships -This course will
provide an in-depth curriculum on how to develop meaningful
programmatic and organizational partnerships within the
movement and with external partners.
2.
Addressing Harassment Online - This short, introductory
course will focus on developing skills that will help
volunteers empathetically respond to online harassment.
These courses are self-paced and graded by the original
instructors of the live course. A computer graded version of
these courses will be available shortly. The current courses are
published in English with potential translation possible in FY
22-23
Please note that the self-paced/human-graded format will return
marked assignments on a bi-weekly/monthly basis depending on
capacity.
Each course has been adapted from its original live format to be
suitable for self-paced study. The Identifying and Addressing
Harassmentcourse was authored and taught by Simona Ramkisson
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:SRamkisson_(WMF)>. The
Introduction to Partnership Buildingcourse was authored and
taught by Asaf Bartov
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Asaf_(WMF)>.
All Wikimedians with an active Wikimedia account can login to
the WikiLearn platform using their Wikimedia identity (OAuth)
without needing a separate account.
If you have any questions or concerns about the courses or the
learning management system Open edX
