Research problem
Wikipedia is meant to be an educational tool and it is currently
available online, via mobile phones and offline.
Experiences have shown that, once accessible, Wikipedia does not provide
information that responds directly to curriculum-based questions.
The project relies on Wikipedia as an existing and growing resource,
it solves the need for an encyclopedia capable of responding to curriculum-based
questions, and it fosters Wikipedia content, quality and outreach.

The project
1. Bridging Wikipedia and primary education. 

This objective implies to move the Wikipedia community towards

a focus on primary education, and at the same time to strengthen

the capacity of the education ecosystem to contribute to Wikipedia,

and in general to open collaborative knowledge.
2. Enriching Wikipedia with new content relevant to primary education.

This objective implies an assessment of the articles produced.
The research project developed within a Swiss-South African cooperation (2014-2017)
focuses on the theoretical frame of Wikipedia Primary School and in developing and
evaluating a system to assess Wikipedia articles for primary education and to involve a
wide network of scholars and contributors in their production. More specifically the project
aims at:

3. Fostering the development of translations and new

content in different Wikipedia linguistic editions.

This objective implies the release of existing educational

resources (OER in cc by or cc by-sa), the production of datasets

and the involvement of the Wikimedia movement.
4. Verifying and evaluating the use of Wikipedia

as a source of information for primary education.

This objective implies the involvement of stakeholders and data analysis.
Wikipedia Primary School contributes to universal primary education and to the Millennium
Development Goals (MDG2: Achieve Universal Primary Education). Even if it is scalable and
international, the project is conceived primarily to address African countries and languages.

Research team
The research is developed within a Swiss-South African cooperation

lead by the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern

Switzerland (SUPSI) and the University of Cape Town, in partnership

with Wikimedia CH, the Africa Centre based in Cape Town and Wikimedia

South Africa, and with the support of SNF and the South African

National Research Foundation (NRF).
