It'd be great to have a way to put WP links to key articles for everyone in the course. Is there a template for this? I couldn't do it on my page for the course. Meanwhile:

• Category:Hebrew Bible has a terrific list of categories (and misc articles)

• List of Hebrew Bible events

• Portal:Bible and Wikipedia:WikiProject_Bible

• Portal:Judaism and Wikipedia:WikiProject Judaism

• Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity

Tutorial: http://virtualcampuses.eu/index.php/Tutorial (Note: excel sheet converter)

I don't know of any such list of key pages and articles. Part of the problem is that a lot of important articles are still only subarticles of other articles or not yet extant at all. Wikipedia:WikiProject Bible/Encyclopedic articles, Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Encyclopedic articles and Wikipedia:WikiProject Judaism/Encyclopedic articles between them list most of the major encyclopedic topics relating to those subjects, and generally the longer articles are more significant.

Offer of assistance

I know this isn't necessarily my biggest area of expertise, and that I may have other things occurring in the next few months as well, but I am more than willing to offer what help I can. John Carter (talk) 16:39, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

Great, we could use different kinds of help and it should generally be flexible to fit your volunteer time. The typical route would be to become an Online Ambassador for our course. One advantage of this approach is that you could reflect on how you'd like to make yourself available and what kinds of skills/tasks you'd like to do. For the next month, the course will continue to need some refinement, e.g., sample assignments, wikifying stuff that's beyond my WP skills, and evaluating weak articles that would be suitable (well, I suppose that's mostly my role). Let me know what you think. Meanwhile, I will soon consolidate some of questions and wish-list items and cc: you @John Carter: Thanks! ProfGray (talk) 18:57, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
