Dear global colleagues:

This is to let you know of a new blog series that I’m writing in my capacity as a teaching fellow at our teaching-and-learning centre at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada. 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/.

Yours truly,

John Kleefeld
