Contrary to some beliefs, Wikipedia's quite a reliable source of information (see the myth busting section in this slide deck) and guess who can make it even better? McMaster students, faculty and staff! Join us on March 2nd as we combine (virtually) with other colleges and universities in Ontario for a Wikipedia-Edit-a-thon.
The overarching goal of this event is to help reduce the gender gap on Wikipedia by focusing edits on women, such as the 2020 Women of Influence awards. We'll also explore how editing Wikipedia can be easily (and openly) structured as a teaching and learning activity or assessment. It will be an engaging learning experience for all of us. Drop by either (or both!) of the following spaces. Refreshments will be provided.
