I'm talking to someone from Khan Academy <https://www.khanacademy.org/> in a few weeks (please keep this to yourselves for now), I know they're planning to open it to other contributors, Wikipedia lessons on it would be really great.
Khan Academy is an asynchronous MOOC, people don't have a cohort like Coursera or P2PU which may be a bit lonely but may suit Wikipedia editing in one way in that people all have different interests and do different things on Wikipedia. Khan Academy has really excellent structured content which is great for people to a specific goal in mind however it has limited interactivity. I know Charles Matthews a WMUK member is building a VLE using Moodle also with more interactivity. http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Learning_Environment John On 12 February 2013 17:23, Jane Park <[email protected]> wrote: > This is such a fantastic idea.
