Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/Concordia/Media and Gender (Fall)

This page is where you will find information about meeting agenda and milestones, tasks to do before the next meeting, and links to training modules and other helpful resources. Doing these tasks are part of your grade and will help you draft a great article which is part of your FINAL PROJECT.

Wiki Education built this tool for use by instructors and students contributing to Wikipedia for a class assignment, and I have adapted it for us. We will talk more about the Dashboard during Week 3.

The objective of this assignment is to help you gain Wikipedia literacy and to engage in and explore the process of collective knowledge production and dissemination on the web. The assignment asks you to find an important digital/media artist, movement, genre, artist-centre, etc. that is not listed on Wikipedia and make an entry for them, or that has a very sparse entry and you substantially populate it. You can choose someone we discuss in class or find your own. You will be graded on your correctly following Wikipedia standards, your proficiency in research and use of archival material if needed.

Choose something you can make a full entry about or add substantially to an already existing page. If you want to include a figure with limited information, discuss it with me. In the event of this, you can make multiple entries.

This assignment will be done in three parts.

Research - Annotated Bibliography Article - Peer Review Posting Revisions Reflection
