Event Description

Wikipedia as Pedagogy: How Students Are Shaping Historical Narratives and Opening Up Access
AHA Online and Wiki Education
Thursday, June 4, 1–2 p.m. ET

In this webinar, faculty explored how how they have incorporated Wikipedia editing into their pedagogy. The panelists discussed how and why they’ve adopted the Wikipedia assignment, how this public-facing endeavor has affected their teaching, and how Wikipedia can help students develop a range of critical skills from research to AI-literacy.

Moderated by Helaine Blumenthal (Wiki Education), and featuring Maura Hametz (James Madison Univ.), Allison Marsh (Univ. of South Carolina), and Jasmine Yarish (Univ. of the District of Columbia), this hour-long online event was free and open to the public. More information about Wiki Education’s programs can be found on their website.
