Wikipedia Neuroscience Stub Editing in an Introductory Undergraduate Neuroscience Course - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2012, written by Burdo.
Overview
In response to the Society for Neuroscience initiative to help improve the neuroscience related content in Wikipedia, Author implemented Wikipedia article construction and revision in my Introduction to Neuroscience course at Boston College as a writing intensive and neuroscience related outreach activity. My students worked in small groups to revise neuroscience “stubs” of their choice, many of which had little or no useful content. The exercise resulted in the successful development of well-written Wikipedia neuroscience articles, and was received well by my students, receiving positive marks in course evaluations. Much of the student guidance and assessment was done by student peer groups as well as other Wikipedia editors outside of course, reducing the instructor involvement to below that of a typical term paper.
