Lightning talks
Start Date and Time
13-5-2024 8:00 AM
Program Description
Have you ever wondered how to integrate Wikipedia editing into your class? Or, if you’re a librarian, have you ever wondered how you can support Wikipedia editing in your role as an information literacy expert? This lightning talk will describe how a faculty member and librarian at Cleveland State University were able to use Wikipedia as an open pedagogy learning tool, even though both of them had never edited Wikipedia before the project started. You’ll learn how to get started, what the benefits of Wikipedia editing are as an open pedagogy tool, and why experience editing Wikipedia articles is not required to run a successful Wikipedia assignment.
