University engagement with Wikimedia projects
by Leigh Blackall 09 Mar '14

09 Mar '14

Hi folks. Who can point me to or suggest a process for a university wishing to engage Wikimedia projects? By that I mean initial consultation to get advice on how to consider and formulate an appropriate plan encompasing the alignment of policy and practices through to the use, development and production of content. We have ideas on what steps might be good, but I'm wanting suggestions and pointers from others. Regards Leigh

End of the experimental phase
by Juan de Vojníkov 17 Feb '14

17 Feb '14

Hello folks, as far as I know Wikiversity had to be for about 1,5 year in experimental phase as set by the WMF. But seemingly it took longer than they expected. English Wikiversity allready did some evaluational and structurilizng attempts.https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Help:Project_boxes This summer, we have started to work on it on the Czech Wikiversity. We are describing its content types and ways to study/research. Then we would like to make it cleaner, more understandable and usefull. I can report the results later. I just would like to know, wether also other Wikiversites needs such evaluation or if they were already done? Regards, Juandev
