Thanks, James. I think this is an important point. So we could say we have lost a part of acedemia.
More to the point, we seem to have failed to integrate course materials and multimedia formats into Wikipedia articles. Could we try and create some of these and integrate them into articles relevant to students in oder to test whether this makes a difference to them? Or do you think they would stick to Osmosis etc. anyway? Best regards, Jürgen.
