Historic measures of success[edit]

Measures of success from the kickoff meeting in Prague[edit]

After one year, we will evaluate the success of the Collaborative. We believe it will be a success if:

  • The initial member programs have a larger impact on Wikipedia than they did the previous year.
  • Five new programs received support through the Collaborative’s members.
  • New active members have joined the Collaborative.
  • The Collaborative has developed materials and learnings in conjunction with the WEP team at WMF.
  • Collaborative members successfully develop a strategy to help program leaders deal with problems they encountered.

Measures of success from the Collab improvements in summer 2015[edit]

The Wikipedia Education Collaborative will be considered successful if it can do the following:

  • Create/encourage others to create 1 new learning pattern or expand an existing one every month.
  • Engage with, add to and/or endorse 25% of new education program learning patterns created in that quarter.
  • Spend at least 1 hour of live mentoring sessions on video calls, chat, email etc to give guiding lessons to education program initiators on education extension, grants, etc per quarter.
  • Post 2 posts/quarter to the facebook group about lessons learned from WEP.
  • Create/translate 50% of content for at least one helping brochure in one quarter (3 months). Or, develop content for 1 new one-page lesson for student editors in one month.
