Optimising online participation
Sambro suggest say I go relocate here sam comment I make for Facebook ein Wikipedia Weekly. Wikimania, I think say, ebi sam good opportunity say you go continue de WM movement's history of creativity den innovation by say you go find how you go make de online experience better. Ego fi give well result for stronger international impact insyd, wey edey de interests of de cultural den linguistic equality wey de WM movement dey pioneer for two decades. Why you no go show, by example, how de academics den medics go fi arrange better online conferences?
Here be de comment I make for Wikipedia Weekly for Facebook, I modify den expand sam little:
I be very glad say de Wikimania wey dey cam go san be online. Space dey give sam creative designing of de schedule anaa so say participants go fi pre-organise demma body for online "coffee tables" insyd – say, 30 minutes between two panels/talks, perhaps plus sam pre-appointed facilitator den note-taker, den sam question posed wey go fi be brainstormed, possibly wey dey relate plus themes of de panels/talks? Ego fi be great way give people make dem network – de difficulty of forging new collaborations plus each oda always be sam complaint about online conferences.
Ways wey you go fi make video de interpersonal factor dey wey you go fi make am more rewarding cen dynamic. Eye contact be very important for video conferencing insyd (specifically, if you dey make den break eye contact, we know am since de results of 2018 research). So guidelines for setting up your Zoom go be great: level plus camera, pretty close plus am so say your portrait go fill de screen, den as good sam connectivity as possible. Sam good tin about Zoom be say people demma names dey display, wey you go fi set am up so say dem go fi text each oda den everybro, as dem dey wish, through de chatbot.
I know say ebi fiddly den hard work, but dem go fi make bookings plus de help of local chapters for sam place like sam central library internet room, for sam few countries wer connectivity no be always good. I always dey think of sam cities for Africa insyd, for example, den de Subcontinent (Nepal, for example). We dey hia say we go make participation easier give WMians for de developing world insyd!
Ego fi be achieved plus sam volunteers wey be good plus people for sam cross-linguistic environment; den probably sam overall manager wey be responsible give de Wikimania organisers.
Regrettably my volunteer load be so great already say ano go fi involve ma body directly. My ideas dey owe chaw plus Dr Richard Parncutt, sam friend wey be sam academic for Graz University wey dey Austria wey he organise pilots of conferences wey dey aim say ego do de online stuff really well.)
