The Wikipedia Education Collaborative (or Collab) is a network of international education program leaders who volunteer to share their expertise and experience to support other education programs in achieving their goals. Collaborative members mentor interested volunteers around the world who wish to do educational outreach or pilot an education program. The Collaborative informs, supports and recognizes Wikimedia education initiatives and programs throughout the Wikimedia movement. Collaborative members also represent Wikimedia education initiatives to the wider Wikimedia community and to the education community.

Mentors

Several Collab members from established programs around the world are willing to help and advise newer volunteers participating in the education program. To discuss strategies to improve your program, please feel free to contact any of the mentors.

Membership

To request membership of Wikipedia Education Collaborative please add your request on the membership page.
  • Membership is open to all interested program leaders and volunteers who support the vision for Wikipedia in education, and who want to contribute to the goals of the group (see below).
  • A member should be a leader of an active education program with a history of concrete success reported by adding metrics to the dashboard, posting updates on the education newsletter or the WMF blog, or other ways in which other community members can assess your activity levels.
  • Members of the Collaborative aim to represent a diverse set of programs, languages, and geographies as well as experiences and opinions. For the list of current members, see below.
  • The Wikipedia Education Program team at the Wikimedia Foundation are coordinating members of the Collab. Their role is providing guidance and support as needed.
  • New members should be ready to volunteer time (estimated at around 3 to 5 hours per month) to the Collab. Being active in their own program or on Wiki is a separate activity.
  • Invitations for in-person meetings (to be held once a year in a central location) will go to the members who have shown the highest activity level over the last six months. WMF will aim to have a number of participants join every in-person meeting, but final numbers will depend on Collab members’ activity levels and WMF budget available.
  • Anyone interested in joining the Wikipedia Education Collaborative can request membership on this page. The request will be approved according to the eligibility of the applicant, the collaborative needs for new members and the approval of the existing collab members/coordinators.

Measures of success

Measures of success from the kickoff meeting in Prague

After one year, we will evaluate the success of the Collaborative. We believe it will be a success if:

  • The initial member programs have a larger impact on Wikipedia than they did the previous year.
  • Five new programs received support through the Collaborative’s members.
  • New active members have joined the Collaborative.
  • The Collaborative has developed materials and learnings in conjunction with the WEP team at WMF.
  • Collaborative members successfully develop a strategy to help program leaders deal with problems they encountered.

Measures of success from the Collab improvements in summer 2015

  • The Wikipedia Education Collaborative will be considered successful if it can do the following:
  • Create/encourage others to create 1 new learning pattern or expand an existing one every month.
  • Engage with, add to and/or endorse 25% of new education program learning patterns created in that quarter.
  • Spend at least 1 hour of live mentoring sessions on video calls, chat, email etc to give guiding lessons to education program initiators on education extension, grants, etc per quarter.
  • Post 2 posts/quarter to the facebook group about lessons learned from WEP.
  • Create/translate 50% of content for at least one helping brochure in one quarter (3 months). Or, develop content for 1 new one-page lesson for student editors in one month.
  • Write/encourage others to write 2 newsletter posts/month.
  • Write/encourage others to write 1 blog post/quarter.
