OpenRefine online courses in more languages, and certified trainers
OpenRefine and Wikimedia Commons online course in Spanish and French
Last month, we announced a new WikiLearn course for OpenRefine for Wikimedia Commons: to learn how to upload and edit files on Wikimedia Commons with OpenRefine. This course is now also translated into Spanish and French.
Enroll here:
- English - start course: OpenRefine for Wikimedia Commons: the basics
- Spanish / Español - start course: OpenRefine para Wikimedia Commons: conceptos básicos
- French / Français - start course: OpenRefine pour Wikimedia Commons : les bases
This online course is available at any time, for free. Anyone with a Wikimedia account can enroll with one click of a button. It can be followed at your own pace, with computer-graded exercises.
The course is suitable for Wikimedians, Wikimedia affiliate staff, and partners (e.g. GLAM staff). Following the course takes an average of 6 to 8 hours.
This course was developed as part of the Wikimedia Foundation's training and sustainability grant to OpenRefine. It can be easily translated to other languages as well. If you want to contribute a translation, then get in touch with Giovanna Fontenelle. Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Basque, and Italian translations are underway.
Certified OpenRefine-Wikimedia trainers
