The course covers a range of digital media, with a common emphasis on digital literacy as well as questions of equity, access, and inclusion.
For this ongoing Wikipedia editing project, learning objectives include distinguishing among primary, secondary, and tertiary sources; thinking critically about information so as to identify which sources are reliable and verifiable; becoming more attentive to bias in choice of subject matter for articles as well as in sources of information; and gaining awareness of how, and by whom, knowledge is constructed with a view towards redressing inequities.

Welcome to your Wikipedia assignment's course timeline. This page guides you through the steps you'll need to complete for your Wikipedia assignment, with links to training modules and your classmates' work spaces.
Your course has been assigned a Wikipedia Expert. You can reach them through the Get Help button at the top of this page.
Today, you'll create an account and join this course page, using the enrollment link your instructor sent you. (Because of Wikipedia's technical restraints, you may receive a message that you cannot create an account. To resolve this, please try again off campus or the next day.)
You'll then complete an introductory training module on Wikipedia's goals and policies.

Resource: Editing Wikipedia, page 6
Resource: Editing Wikipedia, pages 7–9
Everyone has begun writing their article drafts.
Now's the time to revisit your text and refine your work. You may do more research and find missing information; rewrite the lead section to represent all major points; reorganize the text to communicate the information better; or add images and other media.
Begin thinking about your Wikipedia annotated bibliography!
Write a paper going beyond your Wikipedia article to advance your own ideas, arguments, and original research about your topic.
Every student has finished reviewing their assigned articles, making sure that every article has been reviewed.
You probably have some feedback from other students and possibly other Wikipedians. Consider their suggestions, decide whether it makes your work more accurate and complete, and edit your draft to make those changes.
Resources:
Continue to expand and improve your work, and format your article to match Wikipedia's tone and standards. Remember to contact your Wikipedia Expert at any time if you need further help!
It's the final week to develop your article.
Everyone should have finished all of the work they'll do on Wikipedia, and be ready for grading.
