I am moderating a panel for the Hewlett Foundation’s Open Educational Resources grantees meeting (2015): The Power of Reuse: Wikipedia in Action
Three panelists will join me as we explore the connections between Wikipedia and education:
- Jeannette Lee, a high school teacher who has her students engage with Wikipedia
- Dr. Amin Azzam, a medical school instructor whose students write high quality Wikipedia articles
- Dan Cook, a journalist with expertise in the editorial processes of both journalism and Wikipedia
This blog post will collect points raised in the session; please visit again for updates, or add to the comments below.
