Hi Sandister
This is wonderful. Thank you!
Would you be able to share the guide to getting started, and possibly the course outline?
Like your group, I also want to approach the Wiki part of the course in terms of writing an article + peer review. But I'm struggling with the chronology of the course. I'm thinking, for instance, it could run like this (for honours and masters students):
0. My own scoping exercise to see what topics are missing/under-developed on Wikipedia 1. Have a dedicated workshop on Wikipedia and editing + have short discussions about Wiki after each seminar 2. Ask them to choose an article to write or edit 3. Ask them to produce an annotated bibliography on the topic 4. Ask them to submit a wiki article outline 5. Ask them to submit a wiki draft article 6. Ask them to review two students' draft articles 7. Ask them to revise their own draft article after receiving peer feedback and submit the final version 8. Ask them to submit an outline of an academic essay on the same topic 9. Ask them to submit the essay 10. I review and send back 11. Ask them to revise and resubmit
I'm not expecting you to comment on the structure, but I just wanted you to see how much I might benefit from seeing your course outline/structure and experiences :)
Warmly, Nimi

We have a simplified guide to getting started in the works but we can share experiences with you.

One last quick question: does anyone know if there are any Wikipedia campus ambassadors in the Eastern Cape? Can't find anything online (they all seem to be located in WC and Gauteng).

Hi Nimi,
You could take a look at the Wikipedia Education Program: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Education_program There you will find people who have run similar activities.
There's also a Facebook group: https://m.facebook.com/groups/1052002851481030?refid=27
Best of luck!!
David

Hi everyone
I teach a postgraduate course in African social policy at Rhodes University. This year, I'm considering getting my students to create
a
wikipedia entry on an under-covered topic as part of their
assessment.
Has anyone had any experience with this? I'd love to hear stories
about
how
you've done this. Have so much to learn!
Warmly, Nimi
