Trying Something New: Faculty reflect on first time teaching with Wikipedia
Tue March 10, 2026 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm GMT
Join Wiki Education’s upcoming Speaker Series on Tuesday, March 10!
Each term, hundreds of faculty across the U.S. and Canada return to the Wikipedia assignment, ready to empower their next term’s students to improve public knowledge as part of their coursework.
But what’s it like running a Wikipedia assignment for the first time? Join us on March 10 to hear directly from faculty who’ve just been there!
Panelists will share their motivations to incorporate the editing project, how their students responded, the surprises and challenges they encountered, and the advice they’d offer to other faculty interested in running their first Wikipedia assignment.
The event will include a public Q&A. We encourage you to bring questions!
Panelists:
- Jennifer Bernstein, Texas Tech University
- Taneisha Means, Vassar College
- Allison Marsh, University of South Carolina
- Rodrigo Pedroza Llinas, Kenyon College
- Helaine Blumenthal, moderator, Wiki Education
