WikiMed * January 2017 marked the completion of the 4th iteration of the course. * 106 medical students participated in the course, almost 50% of them women. * The majority of participants were Hebrew native speakers, but many were Arabic native speakers, and some Russian and French native speakers. * On average, each student wrote 2 articles during the semester, collectively contributing over 200 new articles (about 8% of the medical content on Hebrew Wikipedia), which by now got over 4 millions page views. * More information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sackler_Faculty_of_Medicine_at_Tel_A...

Wikiquote at the hospital * A project to work with patients from a mental institution. Coordinated by User:Jaluj, funded with a Rapid Grant. * Editing skills as a way to construct a more inclusive society: “[He found the workshop] useful because the negative thoughts, which told him that he would not be able to do anything, disappeared when he managed to began to edit.” * Many valuable lessons on how to work with patients from a mental health institution, and how it can influence their relationship to other people. * More information: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/Jaluj/Wikiquote_at_the_...
