Dear John,
We have really enjoyed reading your 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!
Best,
Shai Katz

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/.
