The Privacy Literacy Project (PLP) is a recurrent project hosted by the Interdisciplinary Research Group on Privacy (IRGP). IRGP was founded at UC Berkeley during the summer of 2016. The semester long, discovery-oriented, research (and professional) skills training program focuses on the review, discussion, translation, and dissemination of privacy, surveillance, and cybersecurity knowledge to the public.
Welcome to Privacy Literacy / Wikipedia project's course timeline. This page will guide you through this Wikipedia project for our lab.
This page breaks down writing a Wikipedia article into a series of steps, or milestones. These steps include online training to help you get started on Wikipedia.
Our course has also been assigned a Wikipedia Content Expert. Check your "user talk page" for notes from them. You can also reach them through the "Get Help" button on this page.
To help you plan your time the Executive Director of the Lab and Leadership team have assigned a "difficulty level" to each week of work. These levels are based on the work of prior lab members. The goal is to help you determine, in advance, how much effort will be required. A Difficulty Level of 1 = easy effort; Difficulty Level 2 = easy to moderate effort; Level 3 = moderate effort; Level 4 = moderate to intense effort; and Level 5 = intense effort. Check in ahead of time if you have questions and please make sure to plan accordingly.
**Please, please, please, please DO NOT SKIP AHEAD. This course is designed to build upon content learned and practiced the prior week. It is important to understand each week’s work thoroughly before moving onto next week’s steps. This course site is also dynamic (meaning it changes). If you jump ahead you may start work that is ultimately moved to another week or not assigned. Concentrate the work well that has been assigned to you during the current week**
To get started, please review the following handouts:
***When you finish the trainings, practice by introducing yourself (use your username) to a classmate on that classmate's "user talk page."***
***You are going to keep hearing the terms "user talk page," "sandbox," and "article talk page," this semester. Let's make sure you understand what they all mean. Please write up the definitions of each in a word document and attach it to your memo this week. Make sure you also save a copy for yourself so you can reference it when you get confused.***
***In order to have your work checked for the duration of this course, you need to be logged into Wikipedia and the portal.***
Please review the Berkeley library research guide for our lab and the library skills videos created for our lab by American Cultures Librarian Corliss Lee. Both are hyperlinked on our lab intranet page.
This week, everyone should have attended bootcamp and set up a Wikipedia account.
Start brainstorming interesting Privacy+ topics. Remember, this is the topic you will be working on for the semester and starting a brand-new Wikipedia page on. Include ten (10) potential Privacy+ topics in your memo this week. Not sure what to include? Bring a list of ideas and come talk to me in office hours on Friday.
====== Your first article will be the Wikipedia article about
information privacy. For your second article, you may select an article of your choice on the topic of privacy, surveillance, or cyber security.
Read your two articles and use them to complete this exercise: ======

Now that you're thinking about what makes a "good" Wikipedia article, consider these additional questions. Send your answers out on your PLP your project team email list by 11:59pm PST on Saturday.
· Ahead of lab please narrow down your 10 Privacy+ topics to 5. Once you are done send them out on your project team email list and add them to your personal Privacy+ document on the lab intranet page.
Next take a look at the Privacy+ Topic Selection exercise. Please do the exercise yourself. Don’t worry if you are not sure if your topics are OK. The exercise will help you to flesh out your ideas and help us learn more about what you are interested in. Once you have completed the exercise completely - do ALL of the sections in the exercise - in your personal document we will work on selecting a topic for you. Please completed the exercise by Saturday at 11:59pm so we have time to do our work. Topics will be announced in our weekly email.
Your first "IRGP Annotation" will be assigned this week. Check your email!

If you have not done so already it's time to submit your privacy+ topic selection exercises to the lab leadership, get approval.
If you DO NOT HAVE AN APPROVED TOPIC at this point, it is probably because you were asked to add more information to your privacy+ exercise because it did not have enough detail. If you have not received a privacy+ topic article yet, plan to discuss your topic with the Executive Director of the lab and get the topic approved. Things are just starting to pick up (this is a level 3 week) and you do NOT want to fall behind.
If you HAVE AN APPROVED TOPIC assign your Privacy+ topic article to yourself in the article tab above. Please locate the section titled “My Articles” under the “Home” tab of the portal. There should be a section titled “Assign myself an article.” Click here in order to assign your topic and given article to yourself.and then assign your Privacy+ topic article to yourself in the article tab above. Please locate the section titled “My Articles” under the “Home” tab of the portal. There should be a section titled “Assign myself an article.” Click here in order to assign your topic and given article to yourself.
If you already have a topic assigned by the Executive Director of the Lab it is time to find a few / few more peer-reviewed articles (remember you need a minimum of 20 articles that are at least 15 pages long each - without tables, graphs, citations, etc - in your final annotated bibliography on your topic in ASA format, and start preparing your annotated bibliography if you have not already done so. If your article is too short you will end up having to do extra ones. We check article length during the semester and will let you know if this happens but it is better to just follow firections and make good decisions so you don't have extra work to do. Remember, if you need help formatting your bibliography in ASA style, try out
Citation Machine.
Remember you can reach out to Berkeley Librarian
Corliss Lee or the larger research team for help on finding articles and you have a host of resources on how to do annotations that have been given to you. You have also already done an annotation on an article alongside members of the Lab. You can also send your questions out on your project team email list.
***Based on our work so far this term, find your APPROVED privacy+ topic article in the portal (assigned by the Executive Director of the lab), select it and assign it to yourself on the Students tab above if you have not already done so.***
Finalize your topic / Find your sources (only if assigned a topic by Executive Director)
***In your sandbox, write a few sentences about what you plan to contribute to the selected article or why you are creating this new article.***
***Begin/Continue preparing article annotations***

It is also now time to start outlining your article (and writing) your article.***
*** Creating a new article?***
Keep reading (and annotating) your sources as you begin to write the body of the article. Remember the magic number is 20 annotations on 20 peer reviewed articles of at least 15 pages (without citations, tables, graphs, etc).

If you have not done so already it's time to submit your privacy+ topic selection exercises to the lab leadership, get approval.
If you DO NOT HAVE AN APPROVED TOPIC at this point, it is probably because you were asked to add more information to your privacy+ exercise because it did not have enough detail. If you have not received a privacy+ topic article yet, plan to discuss your topic with the Executive Director of the lab and get the topic approved. Things are just starting to pick up (this is a level 3 week) and you do NOT want to fall behind.
If you HAVE AN APPROVED TOPIC assign your Privacy+ topic article to yourself in the article tab above. Please locate the section titled “My Articles” under the “Home” tab of the portal.

This is the opportunity to challenge yourself and express your expertise of knowledge on your topic subjectively. This original piece will take the form a professionally written academic blog of 500 to 1000 words with an attached bibliography of at least 5 academic sources. These can be pulled from your bibliography on your Wikipedia page.
Brainstorm 5 blog topics this week and add them and a few sentences about what you might write for each to your personal blog document. Think back to the zoom video that we saw in lab last week. What audience are you trying to reach?
Make sure all of the recommended edits have been completed. Once they have, submit your annotations.
Do additional research and writing to make further improvements to your article, based on suggestions and your own critique.
