Hello everyone! I'm writing to invite you to our upcoming workshop on
teaching with Wikipedia.

How to teach with Wikipedia and help educate the world!
Type: Zoom Event
Date: Tuesday, Feb. 7th, 2022 @ 9AM PST/ Noon Eastern
Join us on Tuesday, Feb. 7th at 9 AM Pacific to learn how you and your
students can contribute to Wikipedia!

Wikipedia is the go-to source for information for much of the world.
However, few understand its inner workings, and even fewer still
contribute to it, even though it's the encyclopedia that anyone can
edit. It's not an exaggeration to say that Wikipedia plays a central
role in today's information landscape. The English Wikipedia has more
than 6 Million articles, which might seem relatively complete.
Impressive though this number may be, Wikipedia is a dynamic
enterprise in need of constant updating and expansion. Nowhere is this
more true than in subjects related to historically marginalized and
underrepresented populations, regions, and topic areas. You and your
students can play a critical role in ensuring that Wikipedia is
up-to-date, reliable, and above all, equitable.

Join Wiki Education on Tuesday, Feb. 7th at 9:00 AM Pacific to learn
how to run a Wikipedia assignment.

During this session, you'll gain a better understanding of how the
assignment is structured, what types of support you'll receive from
Wiki Education, and how the assignment may play out in your own class.
Most of all, you'll see how you and your students can make a real
difference in the types and quality of information the world has
access to in your field of expertise.

What: How to teach with Wikipedia and help educate the world!
When: Tuesday, Feb. 7th at 9:00 AM PST/ Noon EST

run a Wikipedia assignment.

The program is open to faculty at post-secondary institutions in the
U.S. and Canada. Those outside of this region should contact
