Hi all! I am very excited to see this timely thread. In our project "Communicate OER," we are working on a 6 week facilitated course through the School of Open (part of Peer to Peer University).
We have a draft up -- a very early draft, but probably of interest to others working on similar ideas: https://p2pu.org/en/courses/49/writing-wikipedia-articles-the-basics-and-beyond/ We expect to launch the course in conjunction with the launch of the School of Open, during Open Education Week (starting March 11). We're very interested in finding a good way to dovetail with the Wikipedia Education Program. We expect many participants to be educators, so offering a clear path to getting started teaching with Wikipedia will be an important facet of the course. -Pete [[User:Peteforsyth]] on Wikipedia and elsewhere > Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2013 09:30:53 -0600 > From: "Robert Schnautz" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]>, "Wikimedia Education" > <[email protected]> > Cc: "Dr. Jonathan Obar" <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Wikimedia Education] Massive open online course(s) > aboutWikipedia > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="UTF-8"; > reply-type=response > > I know that Dr. Obar taught a course on Wikipedia administrator selection. > Copied him in case he's not on the list (though I can't imagine why not). > > Rob > > -----Original Message----- > From: Piotr Konieczny > Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 6:47 PM > To: Wikimedia Education > Subject: Re: [Wikimedia Education] Massive open online course(s) > aboutWikipedia > > Seems like a worthwhile idea.
