According to the schedule of educational institutions in Taiwan, academic year starts on 1st August of every year and ends on 31st July of its next year. (For example, the academic year 2016 starts on 1st August 2016, and ends on 31st July.) One academic year contains two semesters, the first semester starts from 1st August and ends 31st January of its next year, the second semester starts on 1st February and ends on 31st July. Every year starts from the late January till the mid-February there is four weeks long winter vacation, this vacation separates the two semesters of the same academic year; from the late June to mid-September there are ten weeks long summer vacation, this vacation separates the two academic years. In this article, we will introduce how the universities collide with the Wikimedia Movement in Taiwan in the second semester of the academic year 2016, which is the time from 1st February 2017 to 31st July (Among them school days are from 16 February till 28 June, but different colleges may have 1 week variance). The reason for us to document this semester with such details is that in 2016, the Wikimedia movement in Taiwan has a great leap in building the partnership with universities. We believe that the stories in these six months may have a major impact in the direction of Wikipedia Education Programs in the next couple of years.
