Goals[edit]

Did you meet your goals? Are you happy with how the project went?

We reached with our goals at 75% (25% is due to lack of understanding for the university population about the way the Wikipedia progresses, philosophy). The organizers we are happy with project activities, because aymara academic people already have experimental information about Wikipedia and the possibility of revitalizing the language of Aymara.

Outcome[edit]

Please report on your original project targets.


Target outcome Achieved outcome Explanation
ACTIVITY 1. 2 coordination meeting with university authorities and teachers for implementation of practical training workshops. The coordination between the project responsables (Jaqi aru team, university authorities, professors and students) was successful. Although the times of coordination were more than two times (seven times) during the project.
ACTIVITY 2. Systematization and organization of a guide (bilingual) in physical and digital (in relation to encyclopedic writing in Aymara) for workshops. The team and the people involved in the project made the guide to learn editing Wikipedia in aymara language (is the first version in Aymara). The draft was elaborated by Jaqi Aru team and checked by the participants (Aymara proffesors and students).
ACTIVITY 3. 2 practical workshops for 15 teachers for creation, editing, translation and publication of articles in Wikipedia Aymara based on teaching-learning approach. Instead of 2 workshops were made 3 with total of 11 Aymara professors who learnt first of all how to edit on Wikipedia and experimented with the draft of guide. The draft was elaborated by Jaqi Aru team and checked by the participants (Aymara proffesors and students).
ACTIVITY 4. 10 practical workshops for students where they will learn to create, edit, translate and publish articles in Wikipedia Aymara. Those 10 practical workshops were completed according to the plan. More than a hundred students participated in this workshops. Photos could be seen with the tag "Aymar Wikipirya" like this one https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Aymar_Wikipirya,_yatiqirinakampi.jpg The problem was the time to experiment with each one during the workshop. The professors has one our and half each class, the facilitators had to finish during that time with 10 to 15 students. There were just few computers like 5 or 7 laptops, although most of them had smartphones (we did not realize about how to edit Wikipedia with a cellphone).
ACTIVITY 5. Monitoring and supervising the editing and publication of 100 Articles for the Aymara Wikipedia. The Aymara Wikipedia team of facilitators, we have been monitoring until 29 of june. So we have found more than 50 articles with the Wikipedia editing protocol. The semester finished next month July, so we guess that more students are going to upload or write more articles, that is the version of some professors. As Jaqi Aru and Aymara Wikipedia facilitators found that many of the professors and the students saw for the first time the possibility of positive contribution on Wikipedia. They needed more practice of editing because we found a couple their articles uploaded on different place, like this one: https://ay.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usuario:Mary_cauna_copa and we the team helped to riwrite https://ay.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumasa. But this is good for us, they are experimenting with just one practical workshop. And we hope to have more classes about editing Wikipedia in the future.

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? To reach with Wikipedia philosophy to Aymara academic population was fundamental because they are potential editors and contributors. The team of Jaqi Aru have been following the contributor, one thing which we saw is that Wikipedia aymara had in the past very few native aymara speaker contributors. In a few words, the partcipants of the project "Wikipedia Aymarata 2017" are very inspired with the possibility of strenghten the Aymara language and culture through Wikipedia.
  • What did not work so well? The lack of time and equipment (laptops), professors have one hour and half of time to teach share with aymara wikipedians which so shor time for a practical workshop with 10 to 15 students. Another thing which did not work well was to provide each student a laptop in order to experiment editing.
  • What would you do differently next time? Plan to have more time for the workshops and to provide through the project some laptops because not all the students have one.
