Abstract

Wikipedia provides scholars with an avenue for meaningfully contributing to the widely used public knowledge platform despite contribution guidelines that restrict the use of original research. This slide-based learning module explores how Wikipedia can be used as an arena for public scholarship by exploring three themes: Putting expertise into action where it counts; Developing plain language communication skills; Boosting the representation of colleagues from underrepresented communities.

Description

Slide based learning model created for use during the Centre for Career Action's Academic Career Conference held virtually at the University of Waterloo October 13, 14, & 15, 2020.
