A cup of coffee for you!

 * I'd like to see my faculty colleagues and our students contribute to wikipedia, and dissemination of grant outcomes by improving wikipedia articles is one way to do that. I also want them to improve their writing, and getting them to contribute to wikipedia and the international audience is one way to do that.  I decided that I should start with our university libraries' faculty and staff and tinker with wikipedia on the side.  It seems like a hard community to break into! 2001:468:C80:8104:4D8E:4FF9:5403:A81B (talk) 19:08, 28 May 2015 (UTC)nanodudek — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:468:C80:8104:4D8E:4FF9:5403:A81B (talk) 19:04, 28 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi Nanodudek,
 * It's great that you want to see more people at Virginia Tech contribute to Wikipedia. Are you familiar with the Wiki Education Foundation? We provide support for teachers and students in the US and Canada as they work on Wikipedia in class. On our website you can find some of the materials we've developed for teaching and learning. Among the various resources available are online training modules designed specifically for instructors and students. We can also provide staff support: a classroom program manager to help instructors, librarians and others in teaching roles; content experts to provide guidance to students before/after contributing content. If you're interested, I'm happy to talk about the program, but the person you'll want to be in touch with is (helaine [at] wikiedu [dot] org). She's the classroom program manager and can even get you some brochures to hand out to instructors about our program.
 * PS: By disseminating grant outcomes do you mean editing articles to reflect findings of grant-funded research? --Ryan (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:06, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi Ryan, thanks for those resources. I think those brochures will be helpful.  By dissemination, one aspect that I mean is that after a grant supported research study is published, the students and faculty would update the topic in wikipedia and cite the publication.  But, they can also contribute while the research is ongoing by composing new and unique concept diagrams, debating theory on the talk pages, and improving articles.  There is a lot that they can do besides the traditional scientific communication channels (journal articles, power point presentations at conferences, etc.) Nanodudek (talk) 18:05, 29 May 2015 (UTC)nanodudek
