[Air-L] Why faculty love the Wikipedia assignment?

[Helaine Blumenthal]

How do faculty describe their Wikipedia assignments? We asked them! Watch 1
minute video
<https://wikiedu.org/3-words-to-describe-wikipedia-assignment-video/>.

Next semester, take your students beyond the classroom to make a real-world
impact with their work – incorporate the Wikipedia assignment
<https://wikiedu.org/teach-with-wikipedia/> into your courses!

What’s a Wikipedia assignment? It's a motivating, hands-on project with
public impact that enhances skills in digital media literacy, research,
collaboration, and fact-based writing. Your students will write for the
world, not just you – and improve the world’s go-to source of independent,
open-access information.

What kind of support do faculty receive? Nonprofit Wiki Education provides
postsecondary instructors in the U.S. and Canada with tailored assignment
plans for their courses, including student trainings, exercises, digital
tools that automatically track student work, and our staff support – all
free of charge.
