Africa Growth Pilot/Online self-paced course/Module 2
This page is for drafting and honing scripts for the various units in Module 2: 101 Ways to Contribute to Wikimedia.
Module goal[edit]
The module aims to introduce learners to a variety of ways one can contribute to Wikimedia, including both sibling projects (Wikisource, Commons, Wikidata, Mediawiki) and less-obvious ways of contributing to Wikipedia.
Units[edit]
Below are transcriptions of the live session where this module was taught in Phase 1 of the Africa Growth Pilot, divided into short units by topic. The session was accompanied by the slides linked here on the right.
You are welcome to review and edit the scripts for the various units, so that they are the best they can be for self-paced online learning.
