Although many frown on its use in Academia, Wikipedia offers new and fruitful ways for our students to interact with and contribute to the world of information. This workshop will discuss various ways that Wikipedia can be incorporated into students' research as-signments, such as critiquing, editing, and creating Wikipedia entries. Presenters will discuss their own experiences, and will model techniques for effective pedagogical uses of Wikipedia.
