Wiki training
The idea: training people to give courses about Wiki[pm]edia, wikis, free licensing, and collaborative work, at libraries and universities.
- What wikis and like communities are out there, how can people use them for research and how can they participate?
- What tools are available; how can people start their own wikis, on the internet or intranet; and what recommendations can we give them (technically and community-wise)?
- How these tools and communities can be used for collaborative research, for preserving local cultural information, documents, minority languages.
And meta-courses to help people start giving such courses:
- How to approach unis and libraries; who to contact at each location and what kind of sessions to suggest.
- Presentation guidelines; Tufte thoughts on how to present and what to leave the audience with; combinations of chalk talks, paper handouts, and slides; coordination of materials available on the wiki (or some other site that supports the uploading of a variety of file formats).
