Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine/2022-23 WikiMed Directed Studies (Period 17)

Welcome to your 4 week directed studies course for 4th year medical students at TCOM! This course is designed to encourage electronic healthcare literacy. Students will work remotely to select articles, research, and then edit over the course of the month.

Week 1
Welcome to your TCOM WikiMed course!

Over the next four weeks, you will choose a Wikipedia article and make significant improvements to the content and references utilized by the article. If you are bold enough, you might even choose to improve more than one article.

The goals this first week include:


 * 1) Register a user account with Wikipedia (if you don't already have one). Choose your username wisely since all your work will be associated with that name and publicly viewable.
 * 2) Complete initial Wikipedia training modules that will help familiarize you with how the world of Wikipedia operates.
 * 3) Research and select your topic that will be the focus of your work these next few weeks.
 * 4) Complete an initial evaluation of your chosen page. This evaluation will need to be submitted at the end of the first week. Looking ahead, you and I will also evaluate your article again at the end of the four weeks to gain a better understanding of the improvements that have been made.
 * 5) Once you have completed your initial evaluation, please email a copy.
 * 6) Here is a link to the rubric:

Grading rubric

At all times, your course instructor will be available to help. We will be meeting twice a week to review progress, answer questions, and guide you hopefully every step of the way.

Additionally, our course has been assigned a Wikipedia Expert. You can reach them through the  Get Help  button at the top of this page.

To help you get started this first week, here are some useful resources. In your travels, if you discover other resources that you feel are worthwhile, please let your instructor know and we will update this page so that others may benefit.

 * Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference?
 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * Check a few citations. Do the links work? Is there any close paraphrasing or plagiarism in the article?
 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
 * Which sections will you prioritize?
 * What resources do you intend to look up, and when?
 * How will you decide what things (signs, symptoms, side-effects, etc.) to explicitly include? To explicitly exclude?
 * Will you also embed additional links to other Wiki pages?
 * How will you ensure you avoid &quot;doctor-speak&quot; and not use jargon?

By the end of the week, everyone should have made an account, selected a topic and posted their work plan!

Excellent work!

Week 2
To be discussed at the weekly WIP meeting:

A major source of healthcare information from our patients is from Dr. Google. With increased access to knowledge online, comes the dangers of inaccuracy. How can we be a part of that conversation outside of the face-to-face office interaction?

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4448244/

Assignment:

Read through the above article about the reliability of Google and come prepared to the weekly meeting to discuss your thoughts on the subject. C<span style="color: #2c2c2c; font-family: 'Open Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.008px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: inherit;">onsider what the consequences of inaccurate information on your chosen medical wiki might be. Locate and read the liability information on the medical wiki. <span style="color: #2c2c2c; font-family: 'Open Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.008px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: inherit;">Should medical wikis be subject to FDA or other oversight?

It is safe to say that with the ever-increasing accessibility of the internet, our world is becoming smaller and closer together. It has also allowed us to become privy to the extent of human knowledge at a very fast pace. This means that discoveries made on one side of the world that once took years to get to the other, are now avaibile at a moments notice. This begs the question then, how can collaboration shape the way we diagnose and treat our patients?

Assignment: watch the first episode of the show &quot;Diagnosis&quot; on Netflix.

Come prepared to the weekly meeting to discuss your thoughts on the subject.

<div style="font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; font-size: 15.008px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; color: #2c2c2c;">

Work on helping your classmates by conducting peer reviews:


 * Post your Review to the talk page of the article you are reviewing.
 * Aim for finishing your peer review  BEFORE   Wed

How to conduct peer review? :


 * Make sure it's understandable to the intended WP audience
 * Make sure we include appropriate sources, mostly NOT primary literature.  But OK to use primary literature when there is no secondary literature
 * Also OK to use closed-access resources
 * Look at the workplan and compare/contrast it to actual work done
 * Don't be harsh on your classmate
 * Spot check a few links to ensure links are not broken
 * Ensure the structure of article flows understandably
 * Follow readability guidelines (no sentences longer than 26 words)
 * Lots of periods, few commas or semicolons
 * <span style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.008px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;">Post the peer-review on the TALK page of the article you are reviewing.

The world is constantly changing. What was once represented by a blurb in medical education reference books has become one of the most relevant topics of today; coronavirus. Therefore, Wikipedia articles that are visited more frequently have the higher burden of accuracy. T<span style="color: #2c2c2c; font-family: 'Open Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.008px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: inherit;">he ”rate of returning visitors” (RVR) is a major measure of success for any web resource. <span style="font-family: 'Open Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.008px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: inherit;">How does your article fare in this battle for viewership? <span style="font-family: 'Open Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.008px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: inherit;">

Readings:


 * Google Analytics overview
 * Article on RVR
 * Dr. Azzam's student's success story

Assignment:

Using one or more search engines (e.g., Google, Bing, Yagoo, Baidu etc.) of your choice, try to discover some of the content of your chosen medical wiki. Come prepared to the meeting ready to  comment on where the search results appear (if at all) and how this might impact traﬃc to the medical wiki. Are search engines the best way for new users to discover medical wiki content? What are other methods that might also be effective?

Use the final week of the course to respond to your peer-reviewer's suggestions. Additionally:


 * Leverage the Wikipedian community members who are interested in your article
 * Consider replying to the peer review directly on the talk page of your article
 * If you disagree with your peer reviewer, explain your rationale

Continue to expand and improve your work, and format your article to match Wikipedia's tone and standards. Remember to contact your Wikipedia Expert at any time if you need further help!
