Subject: Upcoming Webinar on How to Run a Wikipedia Assignment

 
Join us on October 11 at 9 AM Pacific to learn how you and your students can
contribute to Wikipedia in an upcoming term!

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 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, October 11 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 engage your students in work with real
world impact
When: October 11 at 9:00 AM Pacific
