Hi all,
many of you may be familiar with the Wikimedia Research Newsletter (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Newsletter , doubling as the "Recent research" section of The Signpost on English Wikipedia), a monthly overview of recent academic research about Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects.
We are planning to focus our upcoming issue on the topic of Wikipedia in education, and would love for people from this list (and others familiar with the topic as practictioners) to volunteer summaries or full reviews of a number of recent papers.
See https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/WRN201701 for details on how to contribute, and the list of publications we plan to include in this issue. I'm excerpting the titles below. Publication is planned for next Monday, February 20.
- "Teaching with Wikipedia in a 21st-century classroom: Perceptions of
Wikipedia and its educational benefits"
- "Faculty Perception of Wikipedia in the California State University
System"
- "Writing for Wikipedia in the classroom: challenging official
knowledge (a case study in 12th grade)"
- "Veni, Vidi, Vicipaedia: Using the Latin Wikipedia in an Advanced
Latin Classroom"
- "Using Wikipedia to Teach Discipline Specific Writing"
- "Competencias informacionales básicas y uso de Wikipedia en entornos
educativos"
- "日本の大学生のWikipediaに対する信憑性認知，学習における利用実態とそれらに影響を与える要因"
- "Improving Information Literacy Skills through Learning To Use and
Edit Wikipedia: A Chemistry Perspective"
- "Teachers' use of Wikipedia with their Students"
- "How to motivate formal students and informal learners to
participate in Open Content Educational Resources (OCER)?" [on Wikibooks]
- "Ninth Graders’ Use of and Trust in Wikipedia, Textbooks, and
Digital Resources From Textbook Publishers"
The newsletter is widely read both among Wikipedia community members and among academic researchers active in the area, and we also always try to inform researchers when their paper has been covered.
Thanks!

Update: Publication of this week's Signpost issue was just postponed by three days, meaning there is still time until Thursday for contributing a writeup on any of these research publications about Wikipedia in education.
Also, I have added three more recent papers to the list to be included in this issue (https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/WRN201701 ). Including an interesting-looking case study where 95% of the students participating in a classroom editing project described their interactions with other editors as a positive experience - even when they got reverted or otherwise had their contributions flagged for quality problems.
