Extension:Education Program/nl

About
Facilitates educational programs by adding various interfaces to manage courses, students, institutions, mentors, etc, as well as improving workflow for everyone involved (enrollment, seeing changes of other students, article and reviewer association) and providing several analysis/statistics interfaces. It was developed for the but is generic enough to be used by similar programs.

Usage
To get started using the extension, after it is installed, administrators can (optionally) grant to the course coordinator user right to anyone who will be managing the use of the extension's functions (if they are not already administrators), and administrators or course coordinators can grant the relevant user rights to users in the instructor or (optionally) campus/online volunteer roles. The course coordinator user right gives full access to the course page features, including creating and deleting courses and granting the other course rights to other users.
 * Quick instructions for getting started

To set up a course page, you need to have a user account on Wikipedia that has the rights to do so (either administrator rights, or any of the "course" rights such as "Course instructor" which can granted by an administrator).

1. Check to see whether your institution (e.g., your college or university) is already in the course page system by going to Special:Institutions. If not, add it. (If you are logged in and have the proper rights, you should see an “Add a new institution” section above the list of institutions already in the system.)

2. Go to your institution page, then start your course page. In the “Add a course” section, select your institution from the pulldown menu, enter the course name and the term (e.g., 2013 Q1), and click “Add course.”

3. Fill in the details for your course including an “enrollment token” that your students will use as the code to allow them to enroll on the course page, the start and end dates, and a description of the course in general and what students will be trying to do on Wikipedia in particular—and then press “Submit” to create the course page.

4. After your course page has been started, you can send your students the URL of your course page along with the enrollment token, and they can sign up as students in the course (once they have created their Wikipedia accounts). You can then use the Special:MyCourses page (linked from the top of the page near your username as "Courses") to see recent activity from your students.


 * Using the extension features


 * Preferences and usergroups - The extension introduces new preferences, one for displaying a link to Special:MyCourses in the Personal tools at top right, and another for displaying the "Did you know box" if is present. The extension introduces four new usergroups to control the functions of the extension and identify users associated with particular course roles (such as the instructor or a Campus Ambassador or other volunteer Wikipedian).


 * - The pages for Institutions and Courses are in a new namespace, "Education Program:", and include structured data such as the name and location of an institution, and the start date, description, and other details for a course.


 * - The extension creates a set of related special pages for presenting information about classes and student activity.


 * - Some optional interface messages can be used to customize the appearance of course pages and their default content.

Internationalization
is fully internationalized. Translation of messages is done through translatewiki.net. The translation for this extension can be found here. To add language values or change existing ones, you should create an account on translatewiki.net, then request permission from the administrators to translate a certain language or languages on this page (this is a very simple process). Once you have permission for a given language, you can log in and add or edit whatever messages you want to in that language.

Process for enabling on a Wikipedia
Currently, this extension is being used on:
 * Wikipedia: English, Spanish, Czech, Swedish, Hebrew, Macedonian, Portuguese, Arabic, Greek, Persian
 * Wikiversity: German
 * Wikinews: English

If you would like to use it on another language Wikipedia, these are the steps:


 * 1) Get the extension fully translated for your language, if it is not already. (See Internationalization.)
 * 2) (OPTIONAL) You may wish to translate or adapt the training modules to use in conjunction with the extension.
 * 3) Establish consensus for turning in on within the community of your wiki, typically by holding a Request for Comment. See the English Wikipedia RfC, for example, although a simple "yes/no" decision is sufficient for the default configuration.
 * 4) File a request on bugzilla to have it enabled (pointing to the on-wiki consensus) and/or ask user Sage Ross (WMF) to do so.
 * 5) Assign the extension user rights as needed for instructors and the editors coordinating the use of course pages.
