Milestones

Welcome to your Wikipedia assignment's course timeline. This page guides you through the steps you'll need to complete for your Wikipedia assignment, with links to training modules and your classmates' work spaces. While we have been using Canvas for the past 3 weeks, the Wiki course helps me and you track your progress on Wikipedia.

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

This week is getting comfortable on Wikipedia. We'll make sure everyone is signed up for this course, and we'll do the Wikipedia Adventure in class.

This week you will check back on your pages to see if community editors have added to your work or even removed it. Them removing it doesn't affect your grade, but participating in that conversation about your revisions will provide productive content for your reflection essay. This is a community, so even if your additions get taken down, you still tried and that is the important part.

You'll also be putting together your final presentation about your Wiki stub, your edits, and what you've learned from this research process.
