Wikipedia is the world’s biggest open education resource, and one that we all rely on. The best way to teach your students to use it wisely is to have them help contribute to articles related to subject matters explored in your courses. In doing so they’ll learn to evaluate evidence, to write without bias,to credit their sources, all while completing work that they’ll be proud to show their friends. The Wiki Education Foundation provides a wealth of resources for all educators (those wanting to try something small to those ready to revamp the whole course).
This panel will introduce you to these and to other instructors who have incorporated Wikipedia work into their courses. Bring your laptop, because we’ll also be editing some Wikipedia pages on (what else?) open education.
