Students will learn about the fundamental principles of Wikipedia and draw conclusions as to whether the Wikipedian community successfully follows these principles.
Wikipedia is a free, web-based, multilingual encyclopedia written by a community of anonymous Internet volunteers using collaborative “wiki” technology. Since Wikipedia’s inception in 2001, Wikipedia has become a ubiquitous resource consulted by millions of people around the world. But is it a reliable, objective source of knowledge?
We will explore Wikipedia, focusing on the fundamental principles of neutrality, authority, and civility, and evaluate whether these principles have been successfully implemented (or not) by the Wikipedian community in order to maintain the integrity and usefulness of the resource.
Students will critically analyze existing Wikipedia articles, conduct research in an area of their interest, and contribute new content to a selected article using WikiCode.
Project Overview:
• Wikipedia: Core principles, controversies, and introduction to editing.
• Define scope of project, analyze existing content, and conduct secondary research.
• Create annotated bibliography, and add content to Wikipedia in your chosen area of interest.
• Revise Wikipedia articles, conduct peer review of student work, and respond to peer reviews.
• Give oral presentation reflecting on your experience.
• Complete and submit reflection paper and Wikipedia portfolio.
