Sum of all paintings: my local artist

The project is finalized to publish information about the artworks of a painter born in a small town, currently mainly exposed in his birthplace museum. The collection will be documented by students of the local high school, along with pictures and information about the painter's life, his social environment, technique and subjects of his paintings.

Goals

The project is in the European DigComp.2.1 framework to support students in developing skills about:

• information and data literacy;
• communication and collaboration;
• digital content creation;
• problem solving.

"Safety" will not be addressed in this project.

Problem tree

Problem	The problems that exist in your education context
	Wikipedia is not considered a reliable support for learning activities
	Students and teachers are not motivated to create Wikipedia contents
	The problems that exist in your Wikimedia community
	Difficult discrimination between encyclopedic local contents and localisms
	Problematic online collaboration between experienced users and new  ones
	Problems existing in currently running Wikimedia education programs
	Local contents are usually partially addressed already, so contents creation cannot be used to support a standard curriculum in a structured way
	Local topics can be biased by promotional contents, so their integration in learning projects could be problematic
	Creation of online content is usually considered as a pure online activity, carried out integrating other online contents instead of going through a standard bibliographic research
Causes	Do a "5 Whys" activity for the cards on your slide and write the root causes under each card
	Poor Wiki user interface usability
	Lack of information literacy skills
	Lack of digital content creation skills
	Lack of communication and collaboration skills
	Lack of problem solving skills
Effects	Local contents coverage is not homogeneous
	Contents are not developed in a "professional" way
