I welcome enriching conversations on Twitter: @vahidm

I'm a co-founder of the Wikimedians of Ecuador UG even though i am currently located in Resistencia, Chaco, Argentina.

I am particularly interested in how Wikipedia can be used as an educational tool (and how this is closely aligned with the open education and open knowledge movement), and have done several presentations on this topic, shared on http://www.slideshare.net/vahidm

If you're looking for a 5 minutes explainer video on key questions about Wikipedia in education (less than 5 minutes, in English, and on Commons), you can watch this: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Educa02_2.ogv (presented during Learning Days at Wikimania 2018)

Here is a presentation about the topic of using Wikipedia as an open educational tool: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Editing_Wikipedia_as_Open_Education_(1).pdf

If you're a Spanish speaker, you might be interested in this one hour video of a presentation to university students here: https://www.facebook.com/121014681397320/videos/179547026216602
