<!--*PART 2* STARTS HERE-->
== What problem does this solve? ==
Solve students problems who don't understand the training and giving them a chance of enrollment.


== What is the solution? ==
It will allow the Students another time to test their skills.


=== Things to consider ===
Ask your questions to [[Wikimedians]]

=== When to use ===
<!--optional. examples of situations where you would apply this pattern, or real-world situations where it has been used (links and images are encouraged!-->



==Scope==

<!-- Your scope section should be about 2-3 narrative paragraphs, describing the big-picture status of your language Wikipedia, your theory of change, what your education program's target audience is, and why that group will help you affect the change you seek on your language Wikipedia. -->

==Measuring Success==

<!-- In this section, add specific goals that you're trying to achieve with your program. Remember, add more meta-level goals such as "Does this model work?" as well as specific content goals, such as how many bytes are added to Wikipedia during the time. When you finish this section, you should have a clear picture of what success will look like for your pilot. -->

== Model ==
=== Big picture ===
<!-- In this section, describe how you envision your model to work in the big-picture sense. How will volunteer Ambassadors work with instructors? Will you have a more hierarchical or decentralized model? Will you have program management staff? Are you working in multiple cities or just one? Why do you think this model is a good idea? -->

u will train them, how you will support them during the term, and what your goal is for number of instructors. -->
 
;Roles and responsibilities
* design Wikipedia assignment to fit within the curriculum of the class
* recruit relevant academic professionals to participate with students (e.g. university librarians, writing center staff, etc.)
* introduce students to assignment and help materials (e.g. [[:en:Wikipedia:Training/For students|online student training]])
* if interested in collaboration, instructors should incorporate peer review into their assignment
* monitor student contributions and provide feedback, preferably on-wiki
** the instructor may not be experienced as a Wikipedia editor and should not necessarily focus on formatting for Wikipedia or making the article perfect. However, the instructor, as the expert in the subject area, should review for accuracy, neutrality, comprehension, and to make suggestions for more research/references. 
* grading the assignment according to university policies, including policies related to plagiarism

;Motivations
* help students learn how to use Wikipedia and other sources of information
* teach students how to research a topic in-depth and reproduce the most important information
* help students improve their writing skills
* improve coverage on Wikipedia in their discipline

;Recruiting
* focus on under-represented topics on Wikipedia and target those disciplines at universities where local Wikipedians are interested in supporting instructors and students
* train faculty members to support instructors and set goals with them to recruit at their university
* attend workshops and conferences to recruit instructors in-person and begin training them
* work with volunteers and instructors who are already involved to recruit via word-of-mouth

;Training
* assign instructor to complete the [[:en:Wikipedia:Training/For educators|online instructor training]]
* when possible, train in-person with as many instructors who are interested in hearing more
* cover the basic introductory information about Wikipedia and Wikipedia-editing to make sure they fully understand how a Wikipedia assignment will differ from a traditional assignment
* walk through necessary steps for designing an assignment that fits in the scope of the classroom and on Wikipedia
* review integral steps for working with Ambassadors and for reviewing student contributions throughout the assignment
** very helpful to have a checklist of suggestions, especially for first-time instructors who have never taught with a Wikipedia assignment or edited Wikipedia before

;Supporting
* be available to instructors to answer questions that will come up from them and from their students
** though they may be working with a volunteer, remember that volunteers have limited time to offer support and may need some back-up when an instructor needs a quick turnaround with a problem
* advise through conflict they encounter on-wiki, especially if editors discredit their assignment or if editors are offering good advice that the instructor seems hesitant to take from someone they don't know
* provide useful materials and links as early in the semester (or before) as possible so the instructor can familiarize her/himself with the available resources for instructors and students

;Numeric goal
* aim to have 3 new instructors in each area where you've hosted a recruitment workshop and trained faculty members

==Wikipedia Ambassadors==

== Recommended course design ==

<!-- One of the biggest keys to success in your education program is to have a recommended course assignment design. What direction are you guiding the instructors in your program to do? -->

== Communications plan ==

<!-- Who are the stakeholders who need to know about your program (e.g., professors, Ambassadors, Wikipedia editing community, journalists) and how will you reach them (e.g., email list, Facebook page, Village Pump, etc.). -->

== Addressing problems ==

<!-- In this section, address plans you have for addressing potential problems, including a plan of action for stopping the program if you learn students aren't able to productively contribute to your language Wikipedia. -->

== High-level timeline ==

<!-- When will classes start? When will people be trained? When do you expect students to edit? When will your pilot wrap-up? Keep this as a general high-level timeline. -->

== List of participants ==

<!-- Fill this section in when you have the specific institutions, instructors, and Ambassadors who will be participating. -->
