This course is for graduate audiology students who are studying hearing loss prevention in the context of exposure to hazardous noise levels in the environment and workplace. The course covers anatomy & physiology of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), regulatory requirements in the workplace and strategies to prevent NIHL. The students use wikipedia to explore a topic area in more depth, especially as it relates to specific occupations or hobbies that may expose people to hazardous levels of noise. The ultimate goal is to train students to utilize Wikipedia to enhance the science content related to their profession of audiology in a broader context with the hope that they will use this skill to continue editing pages as professionals in the future. This effort will provide the public with evidence-based resources related to hearing loss prevention and intervention.

Everyone has begun writing their article drafts.
Every student has finished reviewing their assigned articles, making sure that every article has been reviewed.
You probably have some feedback from other students and possibly other Wikipedians. Consider their suggestions, decide whether it makes your work more accurate and complete, and edit your draft to make those changes.
Resources:
Now that you've improved your draft based on others' feedback, it's time to move your work live - to the "mainspace."
Resource: Editing Wikipedia, page 13
Now's the time to revisit your text and refine your work. You may do more research and find missing information; rewrite the lead section to represent all major points; reorganize the text to communicate the information better; or add images and other media.
Continue to expand and improve your work, and format your article to match Wikipedia's tone and standards. Remember to contact your Wikipedia Expert at any time if you need further help!
It's the final week to develop your article.
Everyone should have finished all of the work they'll do on Wikipedia, and be ready for grading.
