Subject: Teach with Wikipedia this fall! Apply by Aug. 11


As you plan for your fall courses, I wanted to share a high-impact
teaching opportunity that faculty have called “the most transformative
assignment ever” – the Wikipedia assignment (teach.wikiedu.org).

With the Wikipedia assignment, students develop their research,
writing, and media literacy skills while making real-world, hands-on
impact on knowledge equity. Nonprofit organization Wiki Education
helps faculty of all disciplines across the U.S. and Canada to
incorporate the Wikipedia assignment into their courses by providing
custom syllabi, comprehensive student training modules, digital tools
to track student work, subject-specific materials, and staff support –
all free of charge.

Faculty teaching language courses often assign their students the task
of enhancing content on that particular language Wikipedia, or ask
students to translate from one language Wikipedia to another, opening
new access to information for people worldwide.

As the August 11 deadline for the fall term approaches, we encourage
you to save your spot to teach with Wikipedia!

To Apply: Visit dashboard.wikiedu.org and follow the prompts to create
your Wikipedia account, take our self-paced instructor orientation,
and create your course page.

Interested in connecting directly with faculty who teach with
Wikipedia? Register now for an upcoming information session:

Questions? We’d love to hear from you.
