Tips & Tricks for Programs & Events Dashboard
Sage (Wiki Ed)

The Programs & Events (P&E) Dashboard (https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/) allows organizers to effectively train participants in their programs and events, monitor the work participants do on Wikimedia wikis, and assess their contributions. It also allows them to report metrics on what the participants have done.

In this workshop we will teach participants how to use the P&E Dashboard, taking them from the basic steps of getting started, through advanced tips and tools. We will also provide tips on customizing things to support their individual programs.

Impact Visualizer: a new tool to explore how a collection of articles develops over time
Sage (Wiki Ed)

Impact Visualizer is Wiki Education's new data visualization and exploration tool. It is designed to analyze a set of articles (a topic area), and show data about how that set of articles has evolved over time. In this session, we will show off some of the interesting things we've learned with this tool, provide examples of research questions that it can answer, and invite participants to ask their own topic-focused questions that could be explored with it.
