Abstract & description edit
Abstract edit
This session is proposed to be a workshop and will provide an interactive opportunity for attendees to engage with new forms of content contribution & consumption through our recently developed story creation and consumption tool; Wikistories for Wikipedia.
Description edit
Wikistories is designed be a gateway to attract new contributors into the Movement by lowering the barrier/ learning curve. Creating a Wikistory is designed to be intuitive and it’s envisioned to be a learning ground for newcomers who would want to edit articles in the future. The use of short text and images would attract traffic/new readers to our projects through ease of sharing of content and general brand awareness.
Further details edit
Qn. How does your session relate to the event themes: Diversity, Collaboration Future?
Our share of media interaction and consumption is shrinking as more people come online. Newer platforms are growing exponentially and the internet is becoming more multi-modal, more interactive and more social. These changes challenge both our contribution and consumption models. Wikistories is designed to allow diversification of encyclopaedic content into formats that appeal to a growing, younger audience.
