It's fascinating how diverse these tutorials are, especially that they
serve a similar purpose, thank you very much for sharing!
At Wikimedia Israel we have been developing an instructional website in
Arabic called Wiki Warsha ويكي ورشة ("wiki workshop"). The tutorials
consist of multimedia elements (video, text, images), and are divided into
13 chapters taking into account the particularities of Arabic Wikipedia.
The tutorials provide self-learners and new comers with basic information
on the following: Wikipedia homepage structure, About Wikipedia
articles, Creating
an account, Signing with a registered account, Creating a userpage, Writing
a new article, Editing an article, Formatting the article, Adding image, Adding
internal and external links, Adding references, Adding categories, Request
edits approval on Arabic Wikipedia.
The choice to make video, text and image tutorials in a website format was
made in order ensure access on different devices including smartphones and
tablets, and to make the web content accessible to people with disabilities
too.
Attaching in the link a sample draft of one of the videos we are working
on, Adding images:

In the past, the chapter has developed an interactive courseware in Hebrew
which has proved to be successful. The courseware is divided into four
chapters: 1) The interface 2) Editing article and userpage 3) Talk and
community 4) Adding images. For example, Link: Editing interface

Thanks very much for the information regarding these
videos in Swedish,
Basque, and Spanish. I'm impressed by the quality of the recent videos in
Basque and Spanish that I watched, to the extent that I understand them. In
the past two to three years have I also learned about recently produced
instructional videos through publications such as affiliates' reports and
*This
Month in Education* <https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/News>.
To the extent that I understand the video in Spanish that Dennis linked

,
I think that it is very good, so I'm
now thinking that I will suggest to
WMF that I not create a Spanish version of the video that I am producing,
but in the future if there is interest in having instructional videos in
Spanish regarding different subjects that are not already covered by
existing videos then I may propose creating Spanish versions of videos that
I plan for English Wikipedia, Commons, or other projects.
As far as I know, there is no easily accessible catalog of what Wikimedia
instructional videos exist. Finding some instructional videos is possible
using the Commons category tree and by searching for file names on Commons,
but not all videos are easy to find using those methods, and several
instructional videos that I found on Commons are outdated. I boldly created
a page here
<
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/Pine/Continuation_of_e…
for cataloging Wikimedia instructional
videos, and I would like to invite
people to expand that list, especially for videos which contain current
information and have good production quality. Hopefully having a common
catalog will help those of us who produce videos to get ideas from watching
others' videos, and to consider whether to translate or reuse portions of
existing videos. If someone thinks that they have a better idea for
cataloging existing Wikimedia instructional videos, or if there is a
catalog that already exists, please reply to this thread or contact me off
list.
Regarding documenting my process, I am placing notes
<

on Meta that are in addition to the grant
proposal, the talk page for the
grant proposal, and the scripts.
Thanks again for sharing information.
