Sensemaking on Wikipedia by Secondary School Students with Synerscope - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2014, written by Willem Robert van Hage, Fernando Núñez-Serrano, Thomas Ploeger and Jesper Hoeksema.

Overview

Visual analytics of linked data can be done by secondary school students with minimal preparation. Authors study the learning curve of students while answering typical Web analytics questions on Wikipedia and DBpedia using SynerScope visual analytics software. Authors find that after a short tutorial students are able to answer most complex questions in a few minutes, learning by trial and error. Older students are faster on average, but motivation appears to be a stronger factor than age for success. Answering speed doubles within two hours of experience while correctness increases.
