Contract validation by students of law and administration — a WikiDeal pedagogy scenario. Proposed scenario, basis for discussion.

The training scenario

Students of law and administration take part in the validation of contracts on WikiDeal, as part of their studies:

1. Their educational institution and the WikiDeal side agree on a pedagogical contract (see below).
2. The students validate contracts on WikiDeal: they review contract bases and clauses, check their coherence and clarity, document problems found and improvements proposed, and record their validation work publicly on the wiki.
3. The work is carried out under the supervision of their teachers.
4. On completion, the institution attributes ECTS credits for the validated work.

This scenario would give students real professional practice on real contracts, while helping WikiDeal reach a higher level of human validation of its contract bases (see Validation & Endorsement).

The pedagogical contract

The arrangement is a contract in itself, of pedagogical type. It would describe, at least:

• the parties: the student, the educational institution, and the WikiDeal side;
• the work: which contracts are to be validated, following which method, over which period;
• the supervision: who supervises and evaluates the work on the academic side;
• the credits: how many ECTS credits are attributed, and on which completion criteria.

Like other WikiDeal contracts, the pedagogical contract is intended to be published, improved collaboratively, and reusable by other institutions.
