| 13:00 – 13:45 | Board Session with the Trustees
Rosie, Victoria and Shani of the Wikimedia Foundation Board will present a panel discussion, focusing on questions that are both humanizing and informative. This session aims to build trust, reinforce the checks & balances system in our governance, position trustees within the movement, and encourage movement members to consider participating in future Board activities. | |
| 14:00 – 14:30 | Analysis and Response Toolkit for Trust (ARTT) and Wikipedia: What's next for Phase II
The Analysis and Response Toolkit for Trust (ARTT) aims to provide motivated citizens with tools and resources to discuss vaccine efficacy online. The ARTT project supplies users with connectors to expert guidance that can be used in analyzing information online and responding to others through trust-building ways. To understand ARTT, think back to a distressing social media post or exchange in recent months regarding something factual — this group will be no stranger to these examples. The topic could be related to climate change, or elections, or, let’s say: vaccine efficacy. Consider the emotions felt during the social media exchange, or maybe the way you wanted to dissect the information using sources such as the World Health Organization or a scientific journal, or even perhaps. Many of us, with little subject matter expertise, feel a sense of uncertainty about how to recommend one report versus another other. But now consider too: what if this exchange online is with not just an unknown person in the world, but someone in your community that people you know rely upon: maybe a local journalist, or even your neighborhood lead on Nextdoor? Perhaps this person is your friend, or a family member? What do you say about vaccines, and how do you say it? This challenge of communicating complex information in human relationships is the core inspiration behind the ARTT project. |
An Overview of WikiJournal
WikiJournal is a diamond open access journal currently hosted in Wikiversity. It has been publishing peer-reviewed articles since 2014. It is a way of bridging the Wikipedia–academia gap by enabling academics, scholars and professionals to contribute expert knowledge to the Wikimedia movement in the familiar academic publishing format that directly rewards scholars with citable publications. In this session, we present an overview of WikiJournal, publishing criteria, research output, impacts and future direction. |
