Relevant experience:

Professional - I'm an EdTech Innovation Strategist at the American Medical Program at Sackler School of Medicine, Tel Aviv University and a PhD candidate at the School of Education at TAU, focusing on Technology and Education (specifically researching Wikidata as a learning platform). I have also designed and lead Wiki-Med, the 1st for-credit course at Sackler dedicated to Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects since 2013. In 2015 I opened a second academic elective course at TAU about Wikipedia & Wikidata that is available to all undergraduate students on campus from all disciplines.

Publishing - So far, I've only published my MA thesis and an academic paper about my Wiki-Med course, that was published in the journal "Education and Information Technologies" by Springer Nature (Sigalov, S. E., & Nachmias, R. (2017). Wikipedia as a platform for impactful learning: A new course model in higher education. Education and Information Technologies, 22(6), 2959-2979). Am currently working on 4 more papers as part of my PhD and Wiki research.

Open - I have been part of the Wikimedia movement since 2011, and have focused mainly on outreach, governance, capacity building and mentorship. In addition to being the chairperson for the Wikipedia & Education User Group, I'm also the chairperson for WPMed Foundation. More details about my Wiki experience could be found here. Since the early 2000s, I am also heavily involved with Project Ben-Yehuda, which is the Hebrew equivalent of Project Gutenberg, and serve as Editor in Chief of the project, as well as Chair the charity that supports the project.

Editorial board application of Daniel K. Schneider

Daniel K. Schneider PHD (website)
Areas of expertise: Educational technology, ICT, political science

Relevant experience:

Professional - I work in educational technology at TECFA, a research and teaching unit in the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, University of Geneva. Holding a PhD in political science, I have been working in this field since 1988 and I participated in various innovative pedagogical and technological projects. I started my career in psychology and educational sciences as a systems engineer, developer and lecturer, turned into a senior lecturer in 2003 and became associated professor in 2015. My long-term R&D interests focus on the design of technologies-enhanced rich pedagogies. My current interests include digital design and fabrication in education, student monitoring, e-learning competence and informal learning in developing countries. I teach educational information and communication systems, digital design and fabrication, foundations of educational technology, and research methodology.

Publishing - I spend an important part of my time exploring new technologies and their use in education and restrict research and publications to a strict minimum, i.e. per year, about 1 journal article plus a few reviewed conference papers. I produced two closed-source textbooks for online universities. I have reviewing experience for conferences, a few journal articles and some research proposals. I never was part of an editing board.

Open - I am the founder and main contributor of EduTechWiki, a bilingual resource kit for educational technology teaching and research. These Mediawikis have several purposes, e.g. note taking for literature reviews, preparation of lecture notes and other manuals, writing-to-learn activities for students, or learning management and project documentation. The wikis by a diverse population around world. The two wikis include over 3000 article pages, have about 1.5M visitors per year, and most pages have a top 20 Google search rank. Most contributors are locals and increasingly so since necessary anti-spam measures discourage casual participation. I consider myself a MediaWiki power user and somewhat document my experience. I also produced several Wikibooks with my students and co-workers, e.g. a a social science research manual (in french) and several manuals on "making" (laser cutting, embroidery, 3D printing) and ICT (JavaScript, Flash, XML,...).

I confirm that I will act in accordance with the policies of the WikiJournal of Humanities. Daniel K. Schneider (discuss • contribs) 16:51, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
