In this hands-on session, learn why and how you might include a Wikipedia editing assignment in your courses. We will discuss pedagogical questions, logistics, (scaffolding assignments, training students, tracking progress, etc.) and ways to frame the assignment, including evaluating digital publications, the politics of citation, and forms of public scholarship. We’ll also provide examples and discuss ways you can collaborate with subject specialists and digital pedagogy librarians to develop assignments for your courses.

This workshop will provide a basic introduction to editing Wikipedia, and is designed for those who want to learn how to help students, how to make edits “stick,” add citations, fix orphan pages, engage in Talk Pages, and otherwise improve and support the work of new editors.

No prior editing experience is required, but please bring a laptop to the event. Participation in this workshop can count toward the Requirement ‘G’ of the CRLT Graduate Teacher Plus Certificate in Digital Media (GTC+).
