[Wikimedia Education] New Blog on Wikipedia in Higher Education

Thank you for the encouragement, Shai. I am going to make those corrections today. Also, although our university’s blogging website doesn’t have a subscription-by-email capability, I’m looking into some alternatives. In the meantime, I’ll send out a tweet (@johnkleefeld <https://twitter.com/johnkleefeld>) and an email when there’s a new post.

It's wonderful that a professor in an academic institution documents and disseminates the possibility of integrating Wikipedia in academic teaching, and contributes to raising awareness about this issue. Special thanks for choosing to rely on the interview we had with Sivan Lerer from the Hebrew University. We find the project that Lerer led inspiring, and happy to know that her words receive exposure. With your permission, I would also like to deliver two tiny corrections: (a) The project led by Lerer belongs to the education program of Wikimedia Israel <https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/Countries/Israel> (and not to an Israeli branch of "Wiki Edu"); (b) The title of my role in this organization is "Education Coordinator" (and not "director"). Finally, once again, thank you for sharing this important blog. Waiting for tracking the following posts!

I plan to write every week to promote the use of Wikipedia in higher education, and will strive to make the content topical and rich with links to what others are doing. I’m open to receiving your suggestions on how best to do that. The first post, “The Wikipedia Manifesto,” went live last week: http://words.usask.ca/gmcte/2017/01/17/the-wikipedia-manifesto/. The second post, “How Students Are Learning Medicine and Collaborative Skills, And Transforming Wikipedia,” went live today: http://words.usask.ca/gmcte/2017/01/24/medicine-and-wikipedia/.
