Module 1

Slides and speakers notes will be provided sufficient to enable any trainer who has completed the Training for Trainers course to deliver this module within about 75 minutes.

Bearing in mind the very limited time, what we can reasonably hope to teach must be prioritised. This module will focus on giving new editors the skills and confidence to add referenced material to existing articles without their contributions being reverted.

To this end, they will be encouraged to create a userpage, with something about their interests, and to let other editors know that they are serious about Wikipedia.

There will be an exercise in using a printed book as a reference, so suitable lightweight and inexpensive books that trainers can easily find a copy of, and where we know that AutoFill will work (on entering the ISBN in the cite book template), need to be identified.

As we seek to focus on the needs of our trainees, the aspiration is to deliver training using the Visual Editor. However, bearing in mind the skills and expertise of our trainers, the module will be initially developed for wikitext editing (ie "Edit Source", rather than "Edit").
