Wikipedia?Created by William J. Allen (Arkansas State University) on January 05, 2007
I appreciate the comments on my last post. In terms of student privacy I already include in my syllabus a statement that the other students in the class will see student posts in the Bb discussion board and I suggest that if a student is uncomfortable with that circumstance that they should withdraw from the class (nobody ever has). In terms of legalities, I wonder if an obvious answer is to simply use Wikipedia as the class site. I start an article and show the students how to add, edit, etc. Would the legal onus then fall on Wikipedia and not on me? Wikipedia content
Wikipedia has strict rules about content. They're aiming to build an encyclopedia, and any pages which are not encyclopedic are subject to removal. Login to post commentsExisting Wikipedia Projects
I presume you've read about some of the other existing projects in Wikipedia. If not, that's probably a really good starting point to see what others have done, what they're doing, and how they've dealt with the potential issues. Login to post comments |
