Description
How do we think of outputs, outcomes, and impact when we develop Wikimedia education projects? How do we measure the success of a Wikimedia education project beyond Wiki-metrics? This session will focus on the discussion of measurable learning outcomes in Wikimedia education initiatives. It will allow participants to think about strategies that put learning experiences front and center when planning a Wikimedia education project, and the tools needed to evaluate the impact our projects have in education interventions. It will further provide participants with knowledge and skills to advocate for the value of Wikimedia projects in education.
