[Wikimediauk-l] Academic training workshops

2012-06-14 Thread Andrew Gray
Hi all,

As many of you know, as part of my work at the British Library I'll be
organizing a series of training workshops on behalf of AHRC for
postgraduates and academics, at various institutions around the
country. These are mostly half-day sessions, giving training to
specialists who are interested in contributing to Wikipedia or other
Wikimedia projects, or learning more about engaging and collaborating
with the Wikimedia community - I'm modelling them on the past sessions
run by WMUK with, eg, the Institute of Physics.

If they involve more than a small number of people, I'm quite keen to
have someone else around, since it helps a lot if there's two or three
people available to answer questions, demonstrate things, etc. If
you'd be interested in coming along to one of these sessions and
helping show people the ropes, please let me know and I'll keep you
informed of future dates  locations - I can cover reasonable travel
expenses where needed...

Alternatively, if you have contacts who you think might be interested
in hosting one at their institution, I'd be really interested to hear
about it - part of the trick with setting these up is finding the
right person to approach!

Thanks all,

Hi Andrew,

We have a brand new fleet of soon to be accredited Wikimedia Trainers that
have attended the training workshop on 9-10 June, and I am sure that they
would love to apply their skills helping you to run the sessions. I am
happy to share the list of these attendees with you.

Best wishes,
Daria
