Students have spent the past two weeks reading about Wikipedia. I will introduce the assignment, and students will create accounts.

Assignment - Practicing the basics
  • Create an account and join this course page, using the enrollment link your instructor sent you.
  •  It's time to dive into Wikipedia. Below, you'll find the first set of online trainings you'll need to take. New modules will appear on this timeline as you get to new milestones. Be sure to check back and complete them! Incomplete trainings will be reflected in your grade.
  • You'll get 100% for completing all the tasks (remember, you must be signed in to your account and have joined the course page to get credit).
