Among the claims made for the newness of new media is the assertion that they are interactive, turning the passive consumers of “old” media into active, engaged participants. This course explores the shape of this technologically-enabled “participatory culture” and will also investigate cracks in the foundation of the alleged digital utopia. To what extent are new technologies democratizing and to what extent do they offer new forms of surveillance and control to the powers that be? What social and economic factors govern convergence culture? How have fan cultures evolved as their material networks of conventions and zines go digital?
Welcome to your Wikipedia project's course timeline. This page will guide you through the Wikipedia project for your course. Be sure to check with your instructor to see if there are other pages you should be following as well.
This page breaks down writing a Wikipedia article into a series of steps, or milestones. These steps include online trainings to help you get started on Wikipedia.
Your course has also been assigned a Wikipedia Content Expert. Check your Talk page for notes from them. You can also reach them through the "Get Help" button on this page.
To get started, please review the following handouts:
Now that you're thinking about what makes a "good" Wikipedia article, consider some additional questions.
(see assignment sheet on Moodle / handout)
You've picked a topic and found your sources, and by now you have feedback from me on your Annotated Bibliography. Now it's time to start writing.
Creating a new article?
Improving an existing article?
Keep reading your sources, too, as you prepare to write the body of the article.
If you'd like a Content Expert to review your draft, now is the time! Click the "Get Help" button in your sandbox to request notes.
Resources:
Editing Wikipedia pages 7–9
You probably have some feedback from other students and possibly other Wikipedians. It's time to work with that feedback to improve your article!
Once you've made improvements to your article based on peer review feedback, it's time to move your work to Wikipedia proper - the "mainspace."
Editing an existing article?
Creating a new article?
It's the final week to develop your article, and you'll submit it by 11-22.
