    Trouble adding institution

    The following message was left on my talk page: Hello! I am a professor at Ohio State, which does not yet have a presence on the Special: Institutions page. I wish to use Wikipedia this autumn for an evolution class and am having trouble getting started. I have my own sandbox (Antlady), and have taken the training, and used the Course Wizard. The training indicates that after using Course Wizard there is a way to add my institution. HOWEVER, when I got to the end, it dumped me into the Education noticeboard, which does not seem to have a way out. I do not know how to get my institution listed, which is the first step. Can you help, please?!

    Could someone with familiarity with adding institutions help Joan? Thanks. Biosthmors (talk) pls notify me (i.e. {{U}}) while signing a reply, thx 15:07, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    I got a similar message. I've added the institution, but Prof. Herbers will still have to get the instructor flag to create the course. Cheers, Thanks, L235-Talk Ping when replying 15:25, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Resolved

    I talked with this instructor by phone. She has a colleague who participated in the Wikipedia education program. I was impressed that she already was sensitive to the stress that classes can put on the Wikipedia community, and liked that she already had a plan for the students to submit "final" work to Wikipedia and follow up on community comments for five weeks after that. I wish all professors would account for that much time or longer in the follow up.

    I know of no one in Ohio who might be available to present at this class in person, and I will not be their class ambassador, but I did offer to give the professor and teaching assistants a tour of Wikipedia in a virtual conference space next week. I expect to meet them then.

    I gave this person course instructor userrights. I apologize for not getting a second opinion on this case, but as it happened this time, a lot of users have been informed of this class and there has not so far been a comment on it. I expect this was because it was a difficult decision due to lack of information. Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:06, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Thanks, Lane! @Antlady: I work at the Wiki Education Foundation, and I would also like to speak to you on the phone—I think it would be a good idea to talk about strategies for avoiding issues that may arise with your students. I would like to talk about how you'll ensure that so many groups will come up with notable topics and articles to edit, how you plan to review and evaluate their work, and if you can assign your teaching assistants our Ambassador training and then maybe even a Google Hangout with me. I don't want to suggest you definitely will have a lot of problems, but larger classes have traditionally been the ones that struggle, since any issue that comes up with the assignment affects so many more articles. Can you please email me at jami@wikiedu.org so we can set up a time? Jami (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:35, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Wiki Ed hiring two Wikipedia Content Experts

    Wiki Education Foundation is hiring two experienced Wikipedia editors for part-time (20 hours/week) positions: Wikipedia Content Expert, Sciences and Wikipedia Content Expert, Humanities. The focus of these positions is to help student editors do better work, through everything from advice and cleanup on individual articles, to helping instructors find appropriate topics for the students to work on, to tracking the overall quality of work from student editors and finding ways to improve it. We're looking for clueful, friendly editors who like to focus on article content, but also have a strong working knowledge of policies and guidelines, and who have experience with DYK, GAN, and other quality processes.--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:11, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    1. Why do you want to be a Wikipedia Ambassador?
      I want to be a Wikipedia Ambassador because Wikipedia projects provide contextual basis for projects and illustrates the interconnected nature of information. The public-facing nature of the scholarship being created also introduces students to a community of scholars and helps them see their work as augmenting scholarly knowledge.
    2. Where are you based, and which educational institution(s) do you plan to work with as a Campus Ambassador?
      Hamilton, NY at Colgate University's Case Library
    3. What is your academic and/or professional background?
      I hold a B.A. from Cornell University and a M.L.I.S. from Pratt Institute. For the past year and a half, I have been employed as an Instructional Design and Web Librarian at Colgate University.
    4. In three sentences or less, summarize your prior experience with Wikimedia projects.
      Professionally, I have observed two classes utilize Wikipedia for project involving Muhammad and Women in Islam. I also have been involved in promoting Wikipedia as a pedagogical technology. Personally, I use Wikipedia every day.
    5. What else should we know about you that is relevant to being a Wikipedia Ambassador?

    Discussion

    Hello Jesibender, I see you've had an account with Wikipedia for years but haven't really used it. Do you currently participate with any other accounts? — xaosflux Talk 01:45, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi Xaosflux, You are right - I used this account briefly a few years ago. Most of my teaching has been co-teaching with my colleagues, Debbie Krahmer and Sarah Kunze, both ambassadors at Colgate University. — Jesibender (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 14:54, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Request for course instructor right: MMHobbs (talk) (course page draft)

    Name

    <Margo Hobbs>

    Institution

    <Muhlenberg College>

    Course title and description

    <ARH225 Women and Art. This is an introductory art history course for undergraduates. We will investigate the role of women artists in the major movements in Western art from the Middle Ages to Postmodernism. We will consider the ways women artists are written into—and out of—history: many artists who are little-known today had considerable renown in their own time! This class will contribute to an ongoing effort to improve the coverage of women artists in Wikipedia by asking you to critique, edit, and expand relevant entries. Wikipedia assignments are woven into the course structure, with weekly workshops that introduce students to Wikipedia, writing for an encyclopedia, evaluating secondary sources, etc. The students will each edit an article on a woman artist.>

    Name

    Amanda Ann Klein

    Institution

    East Carolina University

    Course title and description

    FILM3900: American and International Film History Part I: History of Film from 1895 to World War II Students are undergraduates who have taken FILM2900: Introduction to Film Studies

    This course is a broad survey of the major films, genres, regulatory bodies and economic structures that defined cinema, both American and international, from its inception in the mid- 1890s through the onset of World War II. The course will address the social, industrial, and aesthetic history of these films, studying how they were made, sold, and exhibited in theaters. Students will begin the course by focusing on the technological and social changes that led to the development of the cinema and how later developments, such as the coming of sound and the development of various international studio systems, impacted the medium. While the major concern of this course is to understand these films in terms of their historical context, studies will also examine specific formal, narrative and rhetorical choices made by the individual films and filmmakers.

    I am using Wikipedia in this course for 2 reasons: 1. teach students how to do proper historical research 2. teach lesson in understanding how knowledge is aggregated, vetted and shared online.
