2012 articles need to be archived

I wasn't sure how to move my 2012 class from the list of current classes. Can a more experienced Wikipedian please help? Thanks, Biolprof (talk) 04:31, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

I moved your course here. General question: is it safe to assume that any course labelled with a specific season in 2012 could be moved? Klortho (talk) 11:59, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Evergreen State College linguistics

Edits to Talk:VO language, Talk:OV language, Talk:Iconicity, Talk:Newspeak, Talk:List of Newspeak words, Talk:Evolutionary linguistics, and Talk:Contact call suggest that students from one or more classes at The Evergreen State College have been assigned to edit articles on linguistics. I don't know the courses or instructors involved, and haven't yet contacted any of the students, some of whom are registered while others edit from IPs. See also my question at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Linguistics#Evergreen State College course assignment. Cnilep (talk) 00:09, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

UNCC Technology Workshop

I notice that User:Ieditpub created UNCC Technology Workshop in article space. It seemed to be a coordination page for an education project. Is this the right place to ask for someone to coordinate with this user? --teb728 t c 20:46, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

New resource

Hi all,

I've just published Wikipedia:Participation by academic projects which is intended for academic researchers wanting to work with/on Wikipedia as part of a larger research project (similar to the GLAM projects), rather than as a course for their students. I feel like it ought to be linked from here, but not sure where it fits... any thoughts? Andrew Gray (talk) 07:21, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

In case it might help anyone, though I think this is depreciated

You are invited to add the template {{Educational assignment}} to the talk pages of articles which are created or significantly changed due to an assignment. The template looks like this:

Nodal link for non-US/Canada projects

Would anybody be interested in my adding a line in this page (not the discussion) linking to a list of projects in English which are not US/Canada-based. Since this region of the world created its own link, it is not easy to find information about the rest of us. What do you think? If you agree, where do I find information about current non-US/Canada ongoing projects? --Mcptrad (talk) 14:26, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

Possible Wikisource projects

The above linked to sister site doesn't actually yet have any sort of page for school and university projects, although I personally tend to think that for students of say high-school level and such it might be a very good place for classes dealing with, for instance, local history, to have students copy edit and add material relating to, for instance, the history of their county (and many have PD history books out there), state, notable figures, etc. All that would be required would be that there be an existing computer file of the text, and I can't see that as being particularly difficult to get going. Also, depending on the specific sources used in such efforts, the content of those works could itself be used as starter material for some related articles here. Just an idea, anyway.

A children wiki encyclopedia has just reached 1000 articles (in English)

You may have (or not) heard about this project before: vikidia in English has just reached 1000 articles after 4 month, a children wiki encyclopedia to build.

Here is the link: http://en.vikidia.org/ and some explanations: http://blog.wikimedia.fr/vikidia-in-english-opens-today-lets-build-a-children-wiki-encyclopedia-6400

I believe that such wikis have proven their sustainability, relevance and success, the two biggest ones following this model being Vikidia in French and WikiKids.nl in Dutch, with respectively 17000 and 15000 articles and hundreds of thousands readers every month. They also deal with schools projects. Younger people can be involved in the process, alone or within educational activities organised by schools. They may gain some digital/media literacy by learning about the functioning of a resource they will use extensively few years later: Wikipedia, although the goal is still to create content an the "knowledge resource" benefit of such a project.

Would it be useful to indicate it on the main WP:School and university projects page ? For it can be an option when working with younger pupils. Astirmays (talk) 08:22, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Class project in Columbus, Georgia?

I noticed similar comments on the use of technology in Columbus, Georgia at User talk:Molly Browning and User talk:Yadirap1 which had been put up for speedy deletion by other editors. I have since moved those pages to User:Molly Browning and User:Yadirap1 respectively, but I wonder if this might be a school project. Is it worth asking the new editors if that is what they are involved with? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:55, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Archives

This page doesn't appear to be updated very often. I created archives for 2013 and 2014 and just now went through and archived all those which ran during specified terms in the past. I left alone those which are "ongoing", including those which don't appear to have seen any activity in the last year or two. ---- Rhododendrites talk \\ 16:34, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
