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? Participants learning about Wikipedia for the first time
- The planning for all the events went really well since there were people assisting with the logistics. Early planning helped a lot
- What did not work so well?
- Some Participants did not commit themselves and dropped out in the middle of the project.
- Internet become very expensive especially considering the number of people who stayed till the end of the project.
- I taught most of the new things to participants on day one which was quite overwhelming and some were confused with everything
- What would you do differently next time?
- Learn how to balance between work, personal life and Wiki projects
- Plan around well on the internet funding.
- Train participants in bits (introduce them to Wikipedia and its projects on different days)
