Improving Science Education and Understanding Through Editing Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2010, written by Cheryl L. Moy, Jonas R. Locke, Brian P. Coppola and Anne J. McNeil.
Overview
This paper describes a graduate-level class project centered on editing chemistry-related entries in Wikipedia. This project enables students to work collaboratively, explore advanced concepts in chemistry, and learn how to communicate science to a diverse audience, including the general public. The format and structure of the project is outlined and assessment metrics are discussed. A panel survey of current students provided an evaluation of the effectiveness of this project in contributing to the learning objectives of the course. Last, a discussion of the challenges involved in implementing this project is provided.
