Notes on how to create an outline for an online course
Make an overview page on Commons, in your userspace
[edit]Ex: Sj/EdX.
- Create a new page in your userspace (e.g., User:YOURNAME or User:YOURNAME/COURSENAME) with a Table of Contents linking to the pages of the course.
- Include structured data on each line such as "day title", "video title","video link","subtitles link")
- Write about what you're doing, so other editors understand context for the incoming stream of videos and materials. Add a note about your work on the course to your user page, and create a short introduction at the top of the outline.
Make a category for the course
[edit]Create a category page at Category:COURSE TITLE with a one line description of the course. Add this category to new files you upload. Put the category itself in a larger category (say Category:MOOC or Category:EdX)
Ex: See MIT 6.002x
Option: Make a separate overview on other wikis
[edit]If most of your work is on another wiki -- say, wikifying a textbook on wikisource for translation, or adding media about ancient Egypt to wikipedia -- you may want to create a similar brief overview on that wiki as well. Each wiki has its own tools for tracking recent changes and related updates.
