Wikimedia in the Curriculum

[edit]
  • Liaised with Professor Norah Spears that the Reproductive Biomedicine BSc Wikipedia assignment will continue for its 6th year with in-person workshops on 22 September 2021 and 6th October 2021.
  • Confirmed with Michael Gallagher that a Wikipedia component will take place on the Digital Education MSc in January 2022.
  • Three to four new case studies to add to the Wikimedia in Education - Booklet of Case Studies for a new digital edition to be relaunched in 2022.
  • The Translation Studies MSc Wikipedia assignment will commence again on 6 October 2021 with students peer assessing each other's newly published translations. This semester students have been invited to consider how best to support global understanding of black and postcolonial history through their 2,000+ word translation assignment.
  • The Korean Studies MSc Wikipedia workshop will go ahead again this semester. Dates to be arranged.
  • The resident has been invited to submit a dataset for the Design Informatics MA/MFA Data Fair project this semester.
  • The Global Health Challenges Pg Online Wikipedia assignment will commence on 13 October 2021 with a student cohort of 42 students working in groups online to improve stub articles about natural and manmade disasters by 1,000 words.

Podcast on Wikimedia in education

[edit]
  • A podcast series recorded on the 24th of May for the University's influential Teaching Matters blog is being edited by a student intern this Summer. Topics discussed included: Wikipedia and History (1hr); Wikipedia and academia in the new normal(1hr); Wikipedia in 321 languages(1hr); Wikipedia, Medicine and Science Communication(30 mins); Wikipedia and the Gender Gap(30 mins). Professor Diana Paton, Translation Studies students, History Society students, Jason Evans, Lorna Campbell, Lucy Crompton-Reid, Prof Norah Spears, and Prof Linda Bauld all contributed.

Conferences

[edit]
  • The conference recording of the panel discussion (Prof Diana Paton and History Society students) at the University of Edinburgh's Learning and Teaching Conference about the Scotland, Slavery and Black History project has been published to Media Hopper. Have requested this be made available for wider dissemination as currently it is locked behind the university's paywall.
  • Had weak acceptance of abstract on Wikipedia in Translation based on the work conducted on the Translation Studies MSc for the December 2021 conference, Understanding Wikipedia’s Dark Matter: Translation and Multilingual Practice in the World’s Largest Online Encyclopedia. Need to revise and resubmit.
  • Delivered a 3 minute summary of the Map of Accused Witches project work as part of the 'Wikipedia Women in Red presentation' for Wikimania 2021, the annual Wikimedia conference on 16th August 2021.

Wikipedia at the University of Edinburgh

[edit]
  • Student interns, Clea Strathmann and Erin Boyle, created a 1 minute 30 seconds video at the end of their internships (27th August) introducing the 'how and why' of engaging with Wikipedia at the University of Edinburgh (can we cite it? No. Can we write it? Yes.). This will be given wide dissemination on student and course programme Facebook groups for when new and returning students are settled in and thinking of starting their first assignments.

Research data and Wikidata

[edit]
  • Student intern Clea Strathmann has completed the importing of the Tower Block Archive project (images of Scottish social housing to Wikimedia Commons and associated rich metadata to Wikidata) data for Aberdeen's social housing. Clea also documented the process used so that all of Scotland's social housing can be completed and added this documentation to our Wikidata pages on the University of Edinburgh website.
  • Clea met with Dr. Zsusanna Vargas to discuss the dataset she wishes to have added to Wikidata in order to visualise the 700-900 books in the dataset and their place of publication. Zsusanna reached out to the resident on the basis of the Map of Accused Witches data project and wishes to do something similar. The resident will follow up with Zsusanna to see if this work can be commenced.

Wikipedia Editing - a new Edinburgh Award

[edit]
  • The resident has submitted a new Edinburgh Award to accredit students for extended project work on Wikipedia as of October 2021 to March 2022. This would allow students to develop important information literacy, digital research, communication and collaborative skills ahead of the world of work and accredit them for undertaking 70-80 hours of Wikipedia work over an extended period. The first iteration is aimed to begin in October 2021 and has been negotiated in collaboration with Kirsty Stewart and Gavin McCabe at the University of Edinburgh Career Service and in collaboration with student interns, Erin Boyle and Clea Strathmann.
