Workshop session description
The Art of Wikis is an interactive visual workshop about Wikis. In this all day workshop, global and local Wikipedia activity will be streamed onto the screen and workshop participants will join in the creation and editing processes. Wikipedia editors will provide insiders knowledge of the Wikimedia community, the mechanics of crowd sourcing and Creative Commons licensing.

Bring along your photographs and stories to participate in a masterclass of creation and editing of Wikipedia content.

Or come along to one of the two specialist sessions.

11-12am. Leigh Blackall will demonstrate how public wikis are being used in tertiary education and research.

3-4pm. John Vandenberg will showcase cultural institutions sharing and collaborating with Wikimedia projects.
