WMUK doesn't really do much in terms of supporting Wikipedia-related assignments/projects right now. They sort of happen without WMUK support, or often even knowledge. Leaflets help, but having experienced Wikimedians available to ensure that the courses go the right way would be far more valuable. Can I suggest aiming to ensure that each assignment project that takes place gets two visits from an experienced Wikimedian - one near the start to help get things going, and one near the end to make sure everything turned out OK in the end - and that some sort of light report containing lessons learnt is encouraged at the end?

Refocus VLE to be more conversational
I found David Whites keynote speech very interesting, and have followed up listening to some of his other presentations. I found this very interesting. His discussion of broadcast vs conversation very interesting. One thing he points out is that "contact is as important as content". "Openness is as much about conversations as throwing content around." I think we should refocus the VLE so that it is more converstional.Leutha (talk) 17:21, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
Supporting assignments
WMUK doesn't really do much in terms of supporting Wikipedia-related assignments/projects right now. They sort of happen without WMUK support, or often even knowledge. Leaflets help, but having experienced Wikimedians available to ensure that the courses go the right way would be far more valuable. Can I suggest aiming to ensure that each assignment project that takes place gets two visits from an experienced Wikimedian - one near the start to help get things going, and one near the end to make sure everything turned out OK in the end - and that some sort of light report containing lessons learnt is encouraged at the end?
