SUMMARY:Teaching With Wikipedia: Engaging Students and Increasing Representation
DESCRIPTION:    Registration requested.    Take your students beyond the classroom with the Wikipedia assignment! You?ll bring your subject expertise, we?ll bring ours in Wikipedia, and together we?ll empower your students to fill in content gaps, enhance representation, and improve citations on the world?s largest encyclopedia. These assignments help to avoid the typical pitfalls of ?essays? while focusing on important research and analytical skills.    Each term, Wiki Education supports hundreds of faculty across the U.S. and Canada as they incorporate the Wikipedia assignment into their courses by providing custom syllabi, tailored resources, robust student trainings, and staff support.    Ian Ramjohn, PhD, Senior Wikipedia Expert, Wiki Education Foundation, will lead a short course that will introduce faculty to using Wikipedia in the classroom. Whether a short assignment or a full-semester-long course focusing on extensive edits, this workshop will familiarize faculty with the tools and support offered for free by the nonprofit Wiki Education Foundation, and how to successfully integrate Wikipedia into the classroom.    Email huminst@uic.edu to request accessibility accommodations.     | Event post: https://las.uic.edu/events?page_id=22561
