Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/College of DuPage/Technical Writing at YCHS--Spring 2021 (Spring 2021)

In this one-semester course in Technical Communication, students learn to write clearly, accurately, and responsibly for a variety of audiences. The WikiEdu lessons on the principles of Wikipedia, and how to research, edit, and share information on this platform are very efficient and motivating. While not all students choose to create a new Wikipedia page, all of them get the basic training to become productive Wikipedians.
