Wikipedia Awareness And Training In Federal University Gusau
The Wikimedia Awareness Project at Federal University Gusau is an initiative aimed at increasing awareness about Wikipedia and recruiting new Wikipedia editors from the university. This project employs a multifaceted approach, including both physical and online events, to achieve its objectives.
Awareness Trip[edit]
One of the key components of this project is the Awareness Trip. The project team organizes visits to different departments and areas within Federal University Gusau to introduce students and faculty to the world of Wikimedia. During these trips, they provide information about Wikipedia, its importance, and how individuals can contribute to it. The goal is to engage and inspire potential Wikipedia editors.
Physical Workshops[edit]
To further enhance awareness and participation, physical workshops are conducted as part of the project. These workshops provide hands-on training to equip participants with the necessary editing skills and knowledge about Wikimedia projects. Participants learn how to create and edit Wikipedia articles, ensuring the accuracy and quality of content.
Online Events[edit]
In addition to physical activities, the project also hosts online events. These events serve as webinars, virtual workshops, and interactive sessions to reach a broader audience. Through online platforms, they share informative materials, discuss Wikimedia projects, and encourage active participation from students and faculty.
The Wikimedia Awareness Project at Federal University Gusau seeks to bridge the gap in awareness, dispel doubts about Wikipedia's accuracy, and boost participation within the university community. By combining physical presence through awareness trips and workshops with the accessibility of online events, the project aims to create a vibrant Wikimedia community at the university and nurture a new generation of Wikipedia editors.
