This course is about change. Change in the participants, change in the Biology curriculum and change in the world.
We intend to allow the course content to emerge out of the space where the principles, theories and passions of life science education intersect with the experience and interests of the class. Although there will be a broad public and common backbone of the course, you will also be invited to engage with a more personally reflective and unique component that unpacks topics in ways that are of particular value to you.
The Wikipedia Improvement Project (WIP) provides an opportunity for you to contribute to Life Sciences education on a world-wide scale.

Welcome to your Wikipedia project's course timeline. This page will guide you through the Wikipedia project for your course.
This page breaks down writing a Wikipedia article into a series of steps, or milestones. These steps include online trainings to help you get started on Wikipedia.
Your course has also been assigned a Wikipedia Content Expert. Check your Talk page for notes from them. You can also reach them through the "Get Help" button on this page.
To get started, please review the following handouts:
It will be important to get into the Wikipedia Improvement Project early in the term. By the end of this week, all BELians should have a Wikipedia account, be finished their basic training and be starting to think about a topic that they would like to work on.
It's time to think critically about Wikipedia articles. You'll evaluate a Wikipedia article, and leave suggestions for improving it on the article's Talk page.
Now that you're thinking about what makes a "good" Wikipedia article, consider some additional questions.
You should add a small contribution to an article related to your class, or add a citation to a claim that doesn't have one.
Review Wikipedia's rules for topics related to medicine, human health, and psychology.
You've picked a topic and found your sources. Now it's time to start writing.

Improving an existing article?
Keep reading your sources, too, as you prepare to write the body of the article.
Resources: Editing Wikipedia pages 7–9
Everyone has begun writing their article drafts.
Do additional research and writing to make further improvements to your article, based on suggestions and your own critique.
Continue to expand and improve your work, and format your article to match Wikipedia's tone and standards. Remember to contact your Content Expert at any time if you need further help!
The Tuesday class this week will be a WP workshop where you can work on Peer Review and improving your draft.
You have some feedback from a fellow Belian. It's time to work with that feedback to improve your article!
Every student has finished reviewing their assigned articles, making sure that every article has been reviewed.
It's the final week to develop your article. Your final article should contribute at least 500 words to a Wikipedia topic. See the OWL assignment for full details and rubric.
Everyone should have finished all of the work they'll do on Wikipedia, and be ready for grading.
Once you've made improvements to your article based on peer review feedback, it's time to move your work to Wikipedia proper - the "mainspace."
