Abstract:
Free online courses are essential for everyone who wants to learn new digital skills and knowledge, including about how Wikipedia works and how to edit Wikipedia articles, since the core value of free online courses lies in its ability to provide accessibility to educational resources regardless of geographic location, social and economic status, or other traditional barriers. In our case, Online Courses can also reach wider participants from various regions in Indonesia.

Since the popularity of Online Courses (WikiLatih Daring) in Indonesia has grown significantly, we have implemented several enhancements to maintain participant attention and engagement in online environments by producing shorter videos (2-6 minutes) and improving platform compatibility for seamless mobile and computer access. We have also collaborated with Learnext to offer free and self-paced online courses that can be enrolled and accessed anytime, anywhere, by everyone. Currently, we are focusing on improving content quality and learning experiences on the LMS and designing advanced training programs (WikiLatih Mahir) for participants. We also have plans to extend this initiative to other Wikimedia projects and beyond.
