Hi all,
I posted a month or two ago asking for volunteers to help with some
training workshops I was running at Birkbeck. Thanks again to the four
who replied - the day went well and we got really positive feedback
from the attendees.
I've three more arranged in London, and one in Oxford:
* 3rd September (British Library)
* 24th September (British Library)
* 8th October (University of Oxford)
* 12th October (British Library)
The three BL events are a mixture of those being advertised to AHRC
researchers and postgraduates (see
<http://www.ahrc.ac.uk/News-and-Events/Events/Pages/Wikipedia-courses-for-AHRC-awardholders.aspx>),
with another intended for readers (ie users) at the British Library.
The Oxford event is run by the university for its own postgraduates.
They'll all be afternoon sessions running for three or four hours; a
general introduction to Wikipedia and Q&A session, followed by a short
practical session with the sandbox, a coffee break, and then time to
do some "live" editing with experienced users around to lend a hand.
If you'd be interested in helping train people at one or more of these
sessions, please get in touch! They're fairly informal events, really
quite enjoyable, and the more Wikipedians we have the better...
