This is a second year module on the University of Derby's BA (Hons) Writing and Publishing degree. Students will be using Wikipedia to: enhance their knowledge of decision making and editing in a dynamic and changing environment; conducting research into the writing and editing process, negotiating with others in a collaborative environment and using this knowledge to edit a live work; and learning effective written communication and appropriate formatting and referencing.
The module involves elements of formal teaching, group-led and independent study, weekly reading and preparation, and peer review; and a range of assessments, including the editing of Wikipedia pages, creation of Wikipedia articles and a portfolio project.
