Programs & Events Dashboard is a tool for tracking on-wiki activities of events/courses. It can be used for:
- Tracking events after they happen
- For this you can create a program in Dashboard, add usernames and wait till the data is updated for the group of users.
- Running edit-a-thons
- You give participants a link to join the course; in the Dashboard you can now track such alert as deletion requests of the participants' articles.
- Having Education program courses
- You can arrange a timeline for the course, add training modules and tests for students to complete, assign articles.
Tool also allows to combine several programs into one campaign and see metrics for both separate program and general campaign, as well as download qualitative data.
