Wikipedia Project Description
The final project for this class will be to create, edit or expand a Wikipedia article on an assigned play or playwright. Students will work in groups of three on their assigned topic. In a Wikipedia sandbox, students will prepare their proposal and literature review to demonstrate their research and the feasibility of the topic. Next, students will draft their article in the sandbox and learn how to format it properly for Wikipedia. Following feedback from the instructor, students will move their articles to WP livespace where they will participate in discussions with the WP community who may or may not comment on their articles.

Students will write a reflection paper about their Wikipedia experience. They will also do a 5-7 minute presentation showcasing their article and discussing their research experience and their interaction with WP.

WP training and support will be provided during class time throughout the semester on Wikipedia culture and technology to help you prepare, and tutors will be available to assist you in preparing your projects. There is also a CXC lab in 251 M&DA where you can work on your projects.
