Open Pedagogy in Practice: An Academic Librarian’s Wikipedia Journey

What’s it like to learn to edit Wikipedia? Librarian Kelly Omodt at the University of Idaho Library reflects on her path from newcomer to contributor as a Wiki Scholars course participant. My introduction to Wikipedia, like most school kids, was a warning to never use the site for serious research. Imagine my surprise while reading an email invitation from my university’s provost office to join the Idaho OPAL Fellows: Wiki Scholars 2024 cohort. …Read Article

Explosives, depression, and heart disease

What’s the connection between explosives, major depressive disorder, and chest pain? I wouldn’t have known until I reviewed some student work from last semester. If you’ve taken an advanced cell biology class, you may have heard of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP), a molecule that’s related to ATP (the “energy currency” that mitochondria turn sugars into) and adenine (one of the bases is DNA), but you probably haven’t heard of its les…United States · United StatesRead Article

Small edits, big impact: Students improve coverage of historically excluded figures in STEM

From AI leaders, engineers, inventors, environmentalists, and designers (just to name a few!), we’ve explored the stories behind the Wikipedia assignments that bring new biographies of historically excluded figures in STEM to Wikipedia. And when it comes to improving representation on Wikipedia, there’s no doubt that adding new articles to the encyclopedia makes an impact. But not nearly as visible are the small edits made by student editors to …Wikipedia · United StatesRead Article

Announcing: Impact Visualizer 1.0

Wiki Education’s Impact Visualizer tool is ready to go! I’ve set it up for the global Wikimedia community at impact-visualizer.wmcloud.org, where you can sign in with your Wikimedia account and use it to generate visualizations of how a set of articles has evolved over time. One of the biggest communication challenges at Wiki Education is how to convey the scale of the impact that our programs have. We can point to an individual article that a g…San Francisco, California · San FranciscoRead Article

Textiles, Architecture, Protest: Students bring Islamic art to Wikipedia

Arts of the Arab Spring, West African mosques, Harari Qurans, Almoravid and Almohad textiles, and Abbasid ceramics – until recently, your online search for these topics would pull up links to social media posts, research journals, news articles, and other sources of information, but you wouldn’t find Wikipedia articles summarizing them. That is, until the students in Oberlin College’s Approaches to Islamic Art course brought nearly 20,000 words …Wikipedia · OberlinRead Article

WITH Foundation increases support to expand disability healthcare information on Wikipedia

Underscored by published research and lived experiences alike, there’s no doubt that society relies on Wikipedia, as well as other platforms that draw from Wikipedia’s content. But what happens when policymakers, journalists, healthcare practitioners, educators, caretakers, and others turn to the online encyclopedia seeking information that simply isn’t there?  Thanks to a new $410,000 strategic partnership grant from the WITH Foundation, Wiki E…Wikipedia · San FranciscoRead Article

Women’s History Month webinar explores Wikipedia’s gender imbalance

As the go-to encyclopedia, Wikipedia’s content should reflect the diversity of the real world, but in areas like gender representation, it still falls short.  The gender gap on Wikipedia extends across subjects and biographies to its contributors themselves – a gap that individuals, organized groups of editors, and organizations like Wiki Education are tackling head on. In celebration of Women’s History Month, I had the pleasure of bringing toge…Wikipedia · WashingtonRead Article
