Open Wiki Assignments for Authentic Learning
2026-04-24 11:00 - 12:00 (Australia/Sydney) | Sydney, Australia, Sydney, Australia
Many student assignments are written for one person, read once, and then never read again.
In this session, Dr. James Neill, from the Disciple of Psychology, University of Canberra, will challenge that model by exploring how open wiki assignments can turn student work into useful, open knowledge.
Rather than producing disposable assessments, students can curate their work using Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) sister projects such as Wikipedia, Wikiversity, and Wiki Commons. Student editing of one of world’s most widely used knowledge platforms helps develop critical research skills, meta-knowledge, and communication skills by writing for a real audience.
