What I liked

The videos and the interactive training are great teaching tools.

Nothing really, it all seemed appropriate.

What was missing

... Everything seemed to be covered.

What was unnecessary

Training feedback

What I liked

... The interactive editing tutorial and how straightforward the training was.

What I didn't like

... Pressing X on the interactive sandbox tutorials caused the helpful hints to stop. popping up

What was missing

... Nothing; all of the main components seemed to be there. The information presented seemed to be adequate enough for a beginner to understand the basics.

What was unnecessary

... Nothing; the tutorial was to the point.

If you tried the interactive editing tutorial, what did you think of it?

... I like it, but my concern was with exiting the hints. When pressing the arrow, the tutorial continues but when you click X it stops. It was hard to find my place in the tutorial afterwards and I felt a bit lost until I gave up and restarted it, realizing that I shouldn't press X. Besides that, I think the tutorial was helpful with my first user experience with Wikipedia.

The text instructions will probably be forgotten soon. I learned much more when having to edit using the tutorial than reading about editing.

Training feedback

What I liked

…I like that each part of the training was well organized and concise. I thought the train gin was extremely in depth and well though out. Each step of editing was addressed.

What I didn't like

…I did not like how long the train took. It took me about 2.5 hours to finish this and I don't remember a lot of what I learned because the process was so lengthy.

What was missing

…I know it was training, but it was extremely morning and it took all my brain power to focus for only a few minutes.

What was unnecessary

…The readings were uneasy when a video was posted that explained the exact same thing. i though the videos were the most helpful part of the process.

If you tried the interactive editing tutorial, what did you think of it?

…The interactive tutorial was ok, I did not try it for very long but I though it was helpful in understanding the editing process.

Training feedback

What I liked

This training was very informative and helped lay out the specifics in creating your on wiki page.

What I didn't like

Some things were still a little difficult to understand, such as citations and how to include pictures with the correct format, however, I know we will be discussing more and more of these topics in class and with a librarian so I feel as though I will understand more of what is expected after doing so.

What was missing

I didn't feel as though anything was missing.

What was unnecessary

Everything in this training was necessary and was definitely needed in order to make a successful wiki page.

If you tried the interactive editing tutorial, what did you think of it?

I did not try the interactive editing tutorial, but based off what it said it is going to be useful to have and getting other peoples opinions and feedback on things is what will help you become a better writer. Just remember to not take anything personally because it is all for our benefit.

What I liked

The tutorial is pretty thorough and answered a lot of my initial questions.

What I didn't like

There is a lot of information, which means I will have to look up a lot of this information again in the future.

What was missing

I can't think of anything that was missing.

What was unnecessary

I thought the "advanced" section was misnamed, not unnecessary. The advanced section was more along the lines of random bits of information. The only thing that felt advanced was the "Adding images and other media" slide.

What I liked

Sandbox section was new to me. Also, the information about VisualEditor was great. (Loving VisualEditor very much.) Nice videos made by users!

What I didn't like

The tutorial assumed I was a beginner. It would have been nice if some script at the beginning parsed my username to "intelligently" provide me a tutorial tailored to my likely ignorance based on my contributions.

What was missing

An example of an editorial disagreement that was amicably resolved using Talk among users.

What was unnecessary

I only needed a small fraction of the tutorial.

It was great except that I kept getting interrupted by the message that I am not a recognized, verified contributor to Wikipedia. Then, when I pursued this latter message, the editing tutorial messages followed onto the pages for getting recognized.

Training feedback

What I liked

The training was straightforward, and I really liked the guided practice for editing.

What I didn't like

A lot of it felt redundant, because it felt like common sense when it was said the first time, and then you had me watch a video about it, and I started to feel like it was wasting my time.

What was missing

I can't think of anything that was missing, but I think it would be nice if you could have a guided editing practice that you could go back to even after the training was finished and that you could keep going back to if you want to practice certain things, just so you can practice and check your work.

What was unnecessary

The "edit" video that was about the edit button seemed a little pointless. If I'm taking this training, I'm probably already interested in editing a page, so adding a little promo for editing seemed excessive.

If you tried the interactive editing tutorial, what did you think of it?

This was the best part of the module, in my opinion. Because I am already familiar with academic writing, plagiarism, and common courtesy, a lot of this training seemed like common sense, to me, but the editing tutorial was really helpful and gave me a lot of confidence that I could figure out how to edit an article, if I want to.

What I liked

The videos were short but covered all of the necessary material.

What I didn't like

The codes seem as though they will be somewhat difficult for those without coding knowledge to learn.

What was missing

Nothing comes to mind.

What was unnecessary

Explaining how to make words bold seems rather self-explanatory when there's a button on the edit page for it.

If you tried the interactive editing tutorial, what did you think of it?

It was fairly helpful, though it disappeared at one point and I couldn't find it again.

Nothing comes to mind right now. Again, I'd be interested in knowing whether or not my students would agree with my comments above.

If you tried the interactive editing tutorial, what did you think of it?

The tutorials were excellent! They covered basic skills in detail without being overwhelming. Coming in, I was not familiar with code, so this was very helpful.

What I liked

... It was extremely informative. I have a much better understanding about how to edit and write Wikipedia articles.

What I didn't like

... It was long and the tutorials were a bit confusing.

What was missing

... A comprehensive examination at the end to ensure each trainee had the right understanding of the information.

What was unnecessary

... The videos at the end. They basically reiterated everything that had already been said in the paragraphs.

What I liked

I enjoyed how easy it was to learn how to edit, particularly with the new beta features.

What was missing

I would have liked less focus on the "ethic" of editing on Wikipedia and more practice on actually editing as well as the "code" that is used to edit.
