Learning[edit]

Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:

  • What worked well?

Having a weekly training with simple lessons. The participants could not learn too much in a given day and expect to complete a task in a short time as well. A week was given for them to finish the task since some of them have school and work to do. Other than that, their digital literacy are varied since some of them do not use computers often.

  • What did not work so well?

The training was intended to be made using their computer or laptop but they are more comfortable in editing using their mobile phone. Some of the participants complaint that editing Wikipedia is not mobile friendly.

  • What would you do differently next time?

To formulate a well detailed curriculum for the training. Ensuring each participant understand the lessons.

Anything else[edit]

Anything else you want to share about your project? This first ever training for indigenous language in Malaysia was quite good to start with. From now, the participants will write articles in the Incubator every month so that we can release the Wikipedia incubator soon. We will do a monthly online meetup for updates as well. I always keep up to date with them with the latest news regarding Wikimedia and the user group.
