We have recently been approached by a company asking for someone to be video interviewed
on the subject of how Wikipedia can be used in universities.
The company is a spin off from Imperial College in London and is partly public owned and
partly privately owned. They are currently preparing courses in new technology, which are
expected to be used by over 100 higher education institutions around the world.
The interview will take place in London one day in the next two weeks. The interview will
last about 30 minutes and will be cut down to around 5-10 minutes. They are willing to pay
travel costs if necessary. Exact details of the interview questions are still being worked
out.
This is an excellent opportunity for Wikimedia UK to promote use of the projects in higher
education.
We're looking for a volunteer who is familiar with the workings of Wikipedia and is
willing to be interviewed. If you are interested in doing this for us or would like to
discuss it further please drop me a line or ring me on 07754 881 562.
Regards,
Andrew
