Wikimedia+Education Conference 2019/Submissions/Wiki-Bridges Mooc: Bridges between school, digital and free culture
This is an Open submission for Wikimedia+Education Conference 2019 that has not yet been reviewed by the members of the Program Committee. |
The education program of Wikimedia Argentina has been carrying out during four years a virtual proposal known as Wikipuentes "Bridges between school, digital and free culture". We organized virtual courses for teachers of high schools and universities with the objective of learning how to edit in Wikipedia and encouraged them to generate educational proposals using the free encyclopedia in their classrooms. We created a virtual campus specially designed to develop MOOCs for teachers, and we carried out 8 Wikipuentes, in which more than 600 teachers attended and more than 1500 articles were improved.
