A professional or academic involved in the telecommunications industry cannot overlook one of its central characteristics -- that it is a regulated industry. This course introduces you to the basic elements of telecommunications regulation, allowing you to become a better-informed professional with the ability to analyze phenomena in this industry and contextualize them in a broad framework. The course will establish for its students the context for regulation, its justifications, history, structure, principles, standards, technological challenges, economic pressures, and legal solutions. Students will study regulatory concepts in their broadest sense and at the same time will be exposed to specific contemporary and historical issues faced by the industry and debated among practitioners and regulators alike.
“The Public Policy Initiative is a pilot project that the Wikimedia Foundation is running during the 2010-11 academic year. Professors at public policy programs in universities in the United States are participating in our initiative by asking their students to improve articles on the English-language Wikipedia as part of the curriculum.”
“The Public Policy Initiative is a completely new and exciting model for outreach with subject matter experts on Wikipedia. It's also a first for the Wikimedia Foundation, and something we hope will lead us toward new best practices and a solid foundation to better collaborate with our volunteers and with academic and institutional partners. We believe that the Wikipedia Public Policy Initiative will both improve public policy content during the duration of the project and also produce information and infrastructure that could inform the design and development of a long¬-term sustainable model.”
WHERE DO WE FIT IN?
TC 210 has been chosen to participate in this initiative.
WHAT DOES THIS INVOLVE?

• Students will participate in this project while concurrently learning and researching about media and communication policy issues.
• Students will choose an issue that is of interest to them partway through the semester and either contribute an update to a Wikipedia page or create their own brand new page!
• MSU's TC 210 will be recognized (hopefully) with numerous awards for awesomeness.

Add your picture, a short description (Year, Major, something interesting), and the article(s) you're updating.
"Welcome to Wikipedia" gives you a basic introduction into contributing to Wikipedia. You will learn how to create a Wikipedia user account, how to start editing, and how to communicate with other contributors. You will also learn how articles evolve on Wikipedia and how to rate the quality of an existing article. The "Welcome to Wikipedia" brochure contains 17 pages and an additional quick reference that helps you to remember the most frequently used wiki markup commands.
"
Ten Simple Rules for Editing Wikipedia" is an editorial published in PLoS Computational Biology that gives advice for scientists (also relevant to other scholars and experts) on how to effectively contribute to Wikipedia.
Evaluating Wikipedia article quality is a reference guide with specific steps you can take to get the most out of Wikipedia, as well as a look at how its quality system works.
Introduction to free licenses helps you understand the basic concepts of free licenses. It explains the idea of free licenses, as well as terms like "CC-by-SA" and "public domain".
This one-page handout explains the recommended way to get help and feedback for classes supported by Wikipedia Ambassadors: by posting on their course talk page and notifying their mentor. It also includes a glossary of additional help resources students might use.
