I typically teach with Wikipedia once a year, and there's often new Dashboard
functionality or tutorials to take advantage of. However, I'm presently struggling
with the Peer Review functionality.
This semester I decided to use the Dashboard's peer review and some students are still
in their sandbox and others are in mainspace and when they move or rename their article
the Dashboard doesn't track it, so its hard for students to find others' work.
There's a bunch of links now (for the sandbox and mainspace) and I expect students who
give feedback on work that is in the mainspace will leave it on the sandbox if there's
still an old copy, etc.
Additionally, there are now links for "peer review" in the dashboard that create
separate pages, instead of encouraging students to edit the article for minor fixes and
use the Talk page for discussion.
Am I misunderstanding how to use this; does anyone have any tips?
I'm thinking the old fashion approach of simply creating a user page where the
students manually share the latest link to their content and sign up for others is
easier...?
