Goals[edit]

Did you meet your goals? Are you happy with how the project went? Since it was a new project we had started I would say we are happy with how the project went.

Outcome[edit]

Please report on your original project targets. More information on achieved outcome can be found via the outreach dashboard. Since the program was the first of its kind to be held by the user group and also the students would be put in groups to work on the articles we didn't set any targets for it. What we did was to teach the 60 student class how to edit Wikipedia and they where put into groups to work on their respective articles which could be found on the project dashboard above.

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? We getting a public University to agree to do Wikipedia Education program in the first place is the highlight of our program. Also getting that much students to be interested in editing and creating articles on Wikipedia worked well for us.
  • What did not work so well? It was difficult to get all the students to log on to the events dashboard since most of them where first time users of Wikipedia making it difficult to track their articles to see if they where doing the right thing.
  • What would you do differently next time? We would make sure we would get all our students participating in the education program to create Wikipedia accounts first and get them unto to events dashboard before the assignments are given to them.
