I just put up an Individual Engagement Grant proposal for an idea I've been kicking around for a while now: getting a course about Wikipedia onto one of the big 'massive open online course' systems that have been so successful lately (Coursera, Udacity, edX). Coursera classes typically have tens of thousands of students, so there's huge potential for recruiting new Wikipedians and bringing together a lot of the knowledge we've developed about teaching *about* Wikipedia. If you're interested, have a look at the proposal: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Wikipedia_Massive_Open_Online_Cou… And if you have an interest in *leading* a MOOC, let's talk. Cheers, Sage Ross (in a volunteer capacity) _______________________________________________ Education mailing list Education(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/education -- Everton Zanella Alvarenga (also Tom) "A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing."
