The standard Wikipedia assignment
This module explores a typical Wikipedia classroom assignment.
Students create or expand an article on a topic that has weak coverage in Wikipedia. They research, and build a well-rounded, well-referenced encyclopedia article.
We'll focus on that full-term Wikipedia writing assignment, but there are other ways to use Wikipedia. Later, we'll share some other successful Wikipedia assignments you can easily adapt.
Feel free to take these ideas and materials as they are, or to adapt them to fit your needs.
