Programs

Education

WMTW did a survey this year to observe that students from high schools and universities have what kinds of opinion toward Wikipedia Education project. According to the results, the biggest incentive from education program for Taiwanese students is that they feel that editing Wikipedia can improve their personal abilities. We also found more useful information. For example, students hope that the design of the course can let them have more rights or power to decide their own learning. And they also have their own opinion about the time cost for finishing homework and the how to score.

According the survey, WMTW will focus the 3 strategy goals on education program in the next 3 years.

1. Make the relationship between the course design and the development of student’s ability clearer.
2. Improve the design to make the success rate can be higher when students edit an article that choose by theirself.
3. Push more schools have their own Wikimedia student club or promotion ambassador.

The SMART goal for this year are:

1. Finish a study on the relationship between Wikipedia education Program and students' ability improvement before Sep.30.
