User talk:Sputniza/Interview guide line
Add topicUser:Sputniza: This is a great start. A few of the specific topics that would be useful to zoom in to are:
- Giving on-wiki feedback to students
This is something that we want to encourage — especially when it comes to feedback based on the expertise of the instructor, but it's something that doesn't happen in most classes. It'd be interesting to bring that idea up, find out their perspective on it (as some may not be interested at all in such public feedback), find out whether they have done that before (and if not, why not), and find out what (if anything) would make them more likely to do so.
Would a tool that makes it simple to review student edits and leave on-wiki feedback quickly and efficiently help?
- Grading
We know this area is important to instructors, and is something that they often struggle with, but it's wide open in terms of how to design software to help with the problem of grading students' wiki contributions. How do the istructors approach the grading? Are there specific things related to grading that they want to be able to do but do not know how, or cannot do easily enough?
The more we can learn about user perspectives on this, the better.
- Work on other wikis
We've not put much design effort yet into making the course page system work well when students are active on more than one wiki — for example, when uploading files to Wikimedia Commons is part of their assignment, or when students are translating articles from one languague Wikipedia to another. For any people this is applicable to, it'd be great to just get a clearer understanding of what the challenges and needs related to cross-wiki work are.

Thanks for the additional ideas. I will consider all of this when I start putting things in words. I want to talk to Kacie first, to see what she already has and how I can possbly make use of this as well.
