Wikipedia.”
“Wikipedia has a vetting process?”
“It’s amazing to have an effect on the

@adelinekoh
Lessons I Learned
@adelinekoh
1. You Can’t Begin
Introducing Wikipedia
Too Early
@adelinekoh
Important
Scaffolding learning about Wikipedia editing throughout
the semester
Wiki editing takes place in markup—may be unfamiliar to
students
Have students pair up/group for practice rounds
Look at other sample syllabi as model:
http://tinyurl.com/WVUwikipedia
@adelinekoh
2. Learn How to Edit
Wikipedia Yourself
@adelinekoh
Instructors
Take some time to edit Wikipedia yourself, take the
tutorials: http://tinyurl.com/WVUwikipedia
Wiki markup takes a little practice to learn, as well as
page structures etc.
@adelinekoh
3. Work with the Wiki
Education Foundation
@adelinekoh
Work with Wiki Ed
Get in touch with the Wiki Education Foundation for help
Use the Wiki Education Foundation assignment tool:
http://wizard.wikiedu.org/
Design a Course Page on Wikipedia (Example: https://
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Education_Program:Northeastern_University/
Online_Communities_(2015-1-Spring) )
@adelinekoh
4. Use the Wikimedia
Instructor Handout
Repository
@adelinekoh
Handouts Galore
http://tinyurl.com/wikipediahandouts or google
“Wikipedia Education handouts”
Includes everything you need: Cheat sheets on Wiki
markup, citing sources, references, choosing articles to
edit, how to use a talk page, what to do for instructors
before semester starts, and many more
@adelinekoh
5. How to Deal with
Trolls
@adelinekoh
How to Deal with Trolls
Encourage students to edit pages which are still stubs, or
articles which are non-controversial
Teach them how to recognized “featured articles”
Give them examples of “edit wars”
Edits should be peer reviewed by other students in the
class, but don’t need to be “sticky” to count for credit
Teach disengagement
