SUMMARY:WordPress in Education: What we teach when we teach WordPress (WPCampus)
DESCRIPTION:Across higher education\, WordPress is used as a publishing tool\, but when we engage with students\, it becomes part of the learning environment. We teach students to use the web to tell their stories. They create portfolios\, publish project sites\, and share digital humanities work. They build professional identities that travel with them beyond a single course or platform. \nAt the same time\, many student-facing initiatives that may utilize WordPress as a tool have a different shared language and vocabulary for what\, exactly\, we’re teaching: Is it web design\, digital writing\, technology literacy\, open pedagogy\, or informational literacy\, or all of the above? In practice\, it is often a mix\, and that makes it worth naming and learning from each other. \nThis online summit\, hosted by WPCampus\, the professional organization for WordPress in Higher Ed\, centers student-facing programs\, both long-standing and emerging. We’ll explore how educators and campus teams are teaching WordPress for authentic public work\, and how newer pathways like the WordPress Credits are reframing WordPress not just as a tool students use\, but an open source ecosystem that students can participate in and contribute to. \nWhy this matters now\n\nWordPress remains a highly used web platform on the open web\, which means “learning WordPress” often doubles as learning the web in a practical\, career relevant way.\nWhat participants will learn\nDefining outcomes: How campuses frame student WordPress initiatives and what they prioritize.\nTeaching models that scale: Mentorship\, peer learning\, and support structures that work across programs.\nPathways beyond the classroom: how student move from course-based projects to portfolios\, community contribution\, and career development.\nOpen source community engagement and sustainability: How student contributions feed into the larger WordPress ecosystem and help sustain open source projects.
