Putting on my Wiki Ambassador hat, I successfully initiated, tracked, and brought to a successful finish a collaboration between Wikimedia Serbia and Faculty of Mathematics, University of Belgrade on the Zetetics course.
This was the largest one yet: a record 112 students were enrolled to the course, out of which 106 followed through to write articles on Wikipedia (in Serbia) on 38 different topics which weren't previously covered.
Before they even started, I had to work through the actual requirements and come to an agreement with the professor, come up with topic proposals, hold a part-lecture-part-workshop describing Wikimedia's goal, their projects goal, share important guiding principles and show them around the technical part of creating a good Wikipedia article. After a few months of following their work, answering the emails, and giving suggestions, the time was to give opinions on each work and submit it to prof for grading.
All in all—a very successful semester for both Wikimedia and Zetetics.
