Hi again, good winter! My students are hard at work on their articles and I think they will be thrilled to share their experiences learning Wikipedia with you. They are working on a wide range articles from namuwiki<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namuwiki> to halo top creamery<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_Top_Creamery> to Hanna Pennington (paralympian)<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Pennington>on>. I am sure they will also have some questions for you about your involvement with Wikipedia. Logistically, the class is in the Communications Building (CMU) at UW in room 304. This room is right next door to my office, which is the open lab space of the Community Data Science Collective. If you're interested, I can give you a little tour. The class starts at 12:30, and I am planning on having your visit during the second half of the class, starting at 1:15. I've already heard from some of you who are planning on making it. I appreciate it so much! Thank you! -- Nate On 12/9/18 11:12 AM, Nate TeBlunthuis wrote: Greetings! I am User:Groceryheist.<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Groceryheist> I'm new to the list! Happy to be here! I'm a graduate student at the University of Washington and I research online collaboration. My PhD advisor is Benjamin Mako Hill,<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Benjamin_Mako_Hill> who you may know. I'm writing to introduce myself, and also to invite you all to join my class next quarter. You see, I'm teaching a class on online communities, which was last taught by Mako in the Fall of 2015. As before, a substantial part of this class has the students learning Wikipedia and how to edit (using WikiEdu<wikiedu.org>). Last time, some of you visited class to debrief with students about their experiences with Wikipedia. I think that meeting Wikipedians in person can be a powerful learning experience, and may increase the chances that students stay involved with Wikipedia beyond the course. I hope that some of you would be willing to come visit my class on Thursday February 14th at 1:15. Thank you for your generosity! -- Nate TeBlunthuis
