WikiUNE students club[edit]

Leaded by one teacher that received some talks from Wikimedia Mexico, a group of students of the University of Ecatepec started some activities related to mexican law in the Wikimedia projects. They have uploaded the text of some mexican laws and acts to spanish Wikisource, they made up a course of Law of obligations in Wikiuniversity and write down some articles in Wikipedia about legal topics. They worked all the past semester and on February, 2014 they invited WMMX board members and school authorities to be in a presentation about the achievements of the club.

The images were printed out in big format and the exhibition room was donated by our partners of the Faculty of Philosophy and Literature of the National Autonomous University of Mexico. In the inauguration attended the principal of faculty, some winners of the contest and WMMX board members and volunteers. The exhibition was there till March 15th, and in the next months it will start a tour inside Mexico city and around other cities of this country.

Wikipedia Education Program in Mexico[edit]

Since last year we launcher a pilot education program with some universities of Mexico in which we are teaching how to use Wikipedia in the classroom, how to edit it and evaluation techniques. So far, we have implemented this program in:

  • Facultad de Estudios Superiores Aragón de la UNAM.
  • Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la UNAM.
  • Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, campus Iztapalapa.
  • Universidad de las Américas Puebla.

Now, we are on talks with Wikimedia Argentina to interchange experiences in this field and create a sort of syllabus to standardize the contents and teachings of this program. Besides we are introducing the use of the education program extension to measure the successful of these efforts.

Monthly Wikipedia workshop[edit]

This year we started a new project which consist in a monthly Wikipedia workshop. The point is to have a regular activity in fixed dates and place to announce it permanent activity and allow people to attend, learn how to edit Wikipedia and know some mexican wikipedists. This workshop will be give independently of the number of new people that assist because it will be used also as permanent meeting of volunteers for teaching each other their own experiences in Wikimedia projects.
