Wikidata for Education | 維基數據教育專案
Mohammed Kamal-Deen Fuseini (Dnshitobu), Soukaina Abelhad, Justice Okai-Allotey

(EN)
Wikidata for Education is an initiative that aims to ensure that the "sum of all knowledge" can be aligned with school curricula and easily accessible by teachers and students to achieve their learning objectives. At present, aligning open educational resources with local, national, and international curriculum frameworks is difficult, because standards, competencies, and other elements of curricula are not machine-readable. Wikidata for Education has started as a pilot project in Ghana to structure curriculum data, add it to Wikidata, create more curriculum-aligned content, and develop platforms that help curate it. Below are examples of how this initiative will impact global education.

教育用維基數據是一個旨在確保 “知識的總體” 跟學校的課綱能輕易整合並能簡易的被教師和學生使用以協助其學術成就。就目前而言,要將地區、國家、以及國際課程的綱領與開放教育資源做整合仍有許多困難;主因於其課綱內容有許多元素無法輕易的被機器所識讀。教育用維基數據是一由迦納共和國所發起的先頭專案旨在將課綱內容結構化並上傳至維基數據,並在此之上建立更多與課綱相關連之內容同時開發了一個平台來對其進行規劃。以下是這個專案所能為全球教育體系所帶來的影響。

Biodiversity in underrepresented languages using crowdsourcing | 小眾語言中的生物多樣性 - 群眾工作模式的探索
Mohammed Kamal-Deen Fuseini (Dnshitobu), AgnesAbah

(EN)
Biodiversity preservation and management is crucial, but many languages, especially those of indigenous communities, are underrepresented in scientific literature, hindering the documentation of local biodiversity. Crowdsourcing offers a solution to this problem, enabling individuals who speak these languages to share their knowledge via user-friendly platforms with features such as audio recording and image uploading.

生物多樣性的保護和管理是一項非常重要的工作,然而許多的語言,尤其是那些原住民族群的聲音往往缺席於科學研究之中,對當地生物多樣性記錄的工作產生空缺。群眾工作模式為這個問題提供了一種可行的解決方案,透過一個使用者友善的平台,來自這些語言的使用者們可以透過錄音或是圖像紀錄的方式來與世界分享他們的知識。
