Background
The Osmosis team focuses on medical education. They have a video series introducing technical medical topics for a general audience. The series is licensed CC-BY SA 4.0 which allows there placement on Commons and use within Misplaced Pages articles. Also allows there modification.
The goal of this project is to enhance highly-viewed articles with rich and instructive media, to improve reader understanding and engagement of the medical topics they are learning about.
Pilot plan
- Jake will document the pilot plan (this page)
- James will introduce this concept and sample videos to Wiki Project Medicine
- WikiProject Medicine will decide if the video content, quality, and type is appropriate for a pilot on 10-50 articles.
- James will work with Rishi to identity most-needed videos for popular articles (use mobile pageview data and v:1.0 tool)
- Kyle and Tanner will upload the videos to commons using a compatible format with complete metadata and useful descriptions
- Fil will assist Kyle in uploading translated subtitles to videos on commons, and place the videos in the first sections of non-English articles (but below the infobox) as appropriate
- Medical editors will place the videos as appropriate
- Osmosis will track video views and traffic and report back on changes
- Additionally, Osmosis will add an edit/comment link to their internal teaching tools which incorporate embedded Misplaced Pages content
- Future opportunities may explore using Osmosis learning tools (flash cards/quizzes)
