Training the trainers, Wikimedia 2012

Wikimedia UK is the Wikimedia chapter covering the United Kingdom. We exist to help collect, develop and distribute freely licensed knowledge (and other educational, cultural and historic material). We do this by bringing the Wikimedia community in the UK together, and by building links with UK-based cultural institutions, universities, charities and other bodies. We also represent UK-based Wikimedians to the Wikimedia Foundation and the global Wikimedia movement.

Wikimedia UK is seeking individuals or organisations that can deliver a 'Training the Trainers' programme­.

The aim will be to train active Wikipedians and educators to deliver consistent and high quality training to a range of audiences throughout the UK. These audiences will include volunteers hoping to edit for the first time or curators at museums seeking to refine their technique (or visa versa!).

If you would be interested in delivering this in cooperation with Wikimedia UK please send your tender to:

jon.davies@wikimedia.org.uk

It must include:

  • Details about yourself and your organisation including references that can be taken up regarding work of a similar nature you have undertaken in the past.
  • Examples of similar work you have undertaken in the past.
  • An explanation of your approach to working with volunteers.
  • A detailed description of the approach you will take with a timetable and success criteria. This should include teaching and assessment methods, and using the web to reinforce and extend learning.
  • The number of Wikimedians (i.e. Those who regularly edit and contribute to the pages of our websites) you will train.

(For your information we currently have around 350 members nationwide of whom up to 100 participate in the activities of the chapter. There are of course far more who volunteer from the keyboard of their computers.)

  • How your work fits in with the open access ethos of Wikimedia UK.
  • An agreement that the training materials produced will be open access under a CC-BY-SA licence.
  • A detailed list of your tender amount and what it does and does not include.

All tenders to be received by 5pm on Tuesday the 24th of May.

For any further information please contact Jon Davies on 0207 965 0991 or by email. Jon.davies@wikimedia.org.ukItalic text
