SUMMARY:Copyright the Card Game
DESCRIPTION:Embed and further your understanding and knowledge of copyright through discussion and play with ‘Copyright the Card Game’. \nThis workshop reviews aspects of UK copyright and uses practical familiar scenarios and cards to apply our knowledge and identify what we know\, how we practice\, and what we can do with the materials and resources we have. \n‘Copyright the Card Game’ engages positive aspects we can apply copyright needs through four ‘suits’. \nThe four ‘suits’ in the game are: \n\nCopyright works – what is the material that someone wants to use? Is it protected by copyright and how is it defined in the law?\nUsages\, or what the law calls the ‘restricted acts’ that are the exclusive right of the copyright holder. How does what you want to do with a work map onto the usages as defined in the law?\nLicenses – how do licences work? What licences are available and how might they be used to enable you to go beyond what the law might allow\nExceptions – what copyright exceptions exist in the UK and how can you make better use of them\n\nThe session is based on working in teams to tackle a number of common scenarios.This will involve working in collaboration as together you work through the cards and questions to develop your copyright  knowledge and confidence. \nScenarios will include use of materials in recorded lectures\, open vs. closed teaching spaces\, publishing\, open educational resources (OER)\, and student works. \nUse this session to build on and embed your existing knowledge\, as a refresher\, or inspiration! \nClick here to book your place via MyEd

DESCRIPTION:Join us to add of all the incredible women missing from Wikipedia!\nThe University’s Information Services team run a monthly Wikipedia ‘edit-a-thon’ focused primarily on improving the systematic bias on Wikipedi by adding more articles about notable women missing from the free and open online encyclopedia. \nThese are social and supportive workshops where you can meet like-minded colleagues\, learn a new digital skill and feel free to edit on any subject. \n\n1pm-1:30pm– Crash course in Wikipedia training.\n1:30pm-4:30pm – Research and EDIT!\n4:30pm-5pm – Publish.\n5pm – Close.\n\nThen you can check how long it takes for your new page to appear in Google’s top ten results! \nWikipedia is the 5th most visited website in the world and the first point of information for many so surfacing knowledge there can make a huge impact. Yet\, as of 19th August 2019\, only about 17.94% of the English Wikipedia’s biographies are about women. Not impressed? Physicist Jess Wade certainly wasn’t. She has written 460+ articles about women in science in the last year and has been named in Nature’s 10 people who mattered in 2018 as a diversity champion. \nNo prior knowledge is required. You’ll learn how to edit Wikipedia and participate in an open knowledge community. Participants will be supported to develop articles of their choice related to notable women missing from Wikipedia. \nWe’ll be there 1pm to 5pm so join us when you can and stay as long as you want to/need to (some people get VERY into writing their articles when they get started). \nOpen to all. Everyone is welcome. \nAs part of the university’s commitment to Athena SWAN\, the University’s Information Services team run this session as a monthly Wikipedia meetup/edit-a-thon to address the systemic bias on Wikipedia where only 18.04% of biographies are about notable women. \nMore details can be found on the Women in Red page. \nThese are informal drop-in sessions so knowledge of Wikipedia editing is beneficial. However\, Wikipedia editing can be easy to pick up as this 5 minute walkthrough of the new Visual Editor interface demonstrates. (If you have not edited before then please come at the beginning of the session for a quick crash course). \nCome along to learn about how Wikipedia works and create new role models for young and old alike! \nProgramme\n\n\n12:30pm: Welcome and crash course in Wikipedia editing for those new to editing.\n1:30pm – 4:30pm:EDIT! (Drop in when you can and stay as long as you want to/need to and you’ll be supported to publish an article – Warning: Wikipedia editing is highly addictive)\n4:30pm –5pm Publish your new article and event close.\n\n\nThen you can check how long it takes for it to appear in Google’s top ten results! \nHave a look at the event page to see if there are pages you would like to help edit/create and if you fancy learning more about Wikipedia ahead of time then you can view the Wiki Basics site. \nMyEd Bookings here \nRegister your place on Eventbrite \n  \n

SUMMARY:Witchy Wikipedia editathon for Halloween
DESCRIPTION:Come join us as we set a place for the dead; through helping to create new biography articles and improving existing articles as part of a day of celebration. \nHave you ever wondered why the information in Wikipedia is extensive for some topics and scarce for others? On Halloween\, Thursday 31st October 2019\, the University’s Information Services team are running an edit-a-thon to mark Samhuinn: the Gaelic Festival for the Dead and further document the accused witches of Scotland as part of our ongoing project work on the Survey of Scottish Witchcraft database. \nProgramme \n\n1:00pm – 1:05pm: Housekeeping and Welcome.\n1:05pm – 2pm: Crash course in Wikipedia training.\n2pm – 4:30pm: Research and editing.\n4:30pm – 5pm: PUBLISH! Transferring drafted text to Wikipedia’s live space.\n\nWe will provide training on how to edit and participate in an open knowledge community. Participants will be supported to develop articles covering areas which could stand to be improved in order to improve Wikipedia’s representation of notable lives; be they connected to the university\, to Edinburgh\, to Scotland or further afield. \nBetween the worlds of the living and the dead \nSamhuinn is a Gaelic festival marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter or the “darker half” of the year. Traditionally\, it is celebrated from the very beginning of one Celtic day to its end\, or in the modern calendar\, from sunset on 31 October to sunset on 1 November. Samhuinn was seen as a liminal time\, when the boundary between this world and the Otherworld could more easily be crossed. This meant the Aos Sí\, the ‘spirits’ or ‘fairies’\, could more easily come into our world. Offerings of food and drink were left outside for them. The souls of the dead were also thought to revisit their homes seeking hospitality. \nNew editors very welcome. Full Wikipedia training given. Come learn a new digital skill with likeminded colleagues in a social and supportive setting. \nDesktop computers are available but bring a laptop if you prefer.\n \n*Lunch is not provided but tea\, coffee & nibbles will all be available. \nInternal Bookings via MyEd: https://edin.ac/2NifYUT \nIf from outside the University you can book your place here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/between-the-worlds-of-the-living-the-dead-a-witchy-wikipedia-editathon-tickets-28330759063

DESCRIPTION:The practical applications in Higher Education of the most recent social or technical development (MOOCs\, social media\, digitisation and online collaboration etc.) or regulatory changes (RCUK & HEFCE OA policies\, new copyright exceptions) has led to a new level of complexity vis-à-vis Open Access and Copyright compliance. \nThis training course is well-suited to those who require a basic understanding of copyright law\, licensing and HE applications\, and open educational resources. For those who already have some knowledge of copyright law and licensing\, this course can serve as a refresher. Opportunities for questions and discussions will be ample. \nCopyright and licensing training is an important way to build confidence\, awareness\, and staff skills\, enabling the provision of teaching\, research and information services in compliance with the law and open educational practices. \nEugen Stoica is a Scholarly Communications Officer for the Library and provides support for Intellectual Property Rights\, bibliometrics\, repository administration and e-theses. \nStephanie (Charlie) Farley is our Open Educational Resources (OER) Advisor for Educational Design and Engagement.

SUMMARY:Women in Red - a project to add biographies of women to Wikipedia
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the lives & contributions of all the incredible women missing from Wikipedia!\nThis event at the University of Edinburgh’s Main Library kicks of at 12:30pm so join us then if you can or drop in any time between 12:30pm and 5pm and stay as long or as little as you like. \nIt’s a chance to learn about & celebrate the role notable women have played through researching\, writing & illustrating Wikipedia articles about their lives and their contributions. \nYou’ll be given nibbles and supported to add images\, improve articles & create new articles (50 words+) missing from Wikipedia\, the go-to source of information for people all around the world. \nWikipedia is the 5th most visited website in the world and the first point of information for many so surfacing knowledge there can make a huge impact. Yet\, as of 19th August 2019\, only about 17.94% of the English Wikipedia’s biographies are about women. Not impressed? Physicist Jess Wade certainly wasn’t. She has written 460+ articles about women in science in the last year and has been named in Nature’s 10 people who mattered in 2018 as a diversity champion. \n  \n\n\nJoin us this for our Women in Red workshop as we help make Wikipedia better!\n\n\nNo prior knowledge is required. You’ll learn how to edit Wikipedia and participate in an open knowledge community in a social and supportive setting. Participants will be helped to develop articles of their choice but suggestions for articles to work on will be provided. \nNB: The room has desktop PCs but you can bring a laptop along to the event if you prefer.\n \nProgramme\n\n\n12:30pm: Welcome and crash course in Wikipedia editing for those new to editing.\n1:30pm – 4:30pm:EDIT! (Drop in when you can and stay as long as you want to/need to and you’ll be supported to publish an article – Warning: Wikipedia editing is highly addictive)\n4:30pm –5pm Publish your new article and event close.\n\n\nThen you can check how long it takes for it to appear in Google’s top ten results! \nHave a look at the event page to see if there are pages you would like to help edit/create and if you fancy learning more about Wikipedia ahead of time then you can view the Wiki Basics site. \n  \nRegister your place on Eventbrite \n  \n
