Mediawikis are used for various purposes in both education and research. This short position paper and summary of a talk submitted to SMWCon Fall 2013 attempts to catalog some use cases and then discuss how Semantic Mediawiki extensions could enhance the user experience in educational and research wikis. In this first version we shall draw a lot on our own experience with EduTechwiki and related sister sites. We shall focus on education, but include informal research wikis, since sometimes the two are combined.

The aim of this contribution is to create a small informal community that will push reflections a bit further, for example:

  • document other use cases
  • identify a place to share SMW vocabularies, templates, forms, etc.
  • get some advice from experienced developers
  • suggest new features of general interest for existing extensions
  • (maybe) create plans for development.

We also aim participating in the creation of an educational track at WikiSym 2014.
