A 3-part discussion series in honor of Wikipedia's 20th birthday
We would like to invite you to join us for Wikipedia @ 20, a discussion series that examines the past, present and future of Wikipedia, the Internet encyclopedia. In this series of 3 programs, you can learn more about how crowdsourced information affects the way people learn and share knowledge and how teachers and students from grade school to graduate school are using Wikipedia (for better or worse). We'll dismantle some misconceptions about Wikipedia and meet some of the editors who are responsible for coordinating the production of Wikipedia information about COVID-19 and the January 6th insurrection. This program is co-sponsored by the University of Rhode Island College of Arts and Sciences and the Harrington School of Communication and Media.
WIKIPEDIA IN POPULAR CULTURE
An Online Viewing and Discussion Experience
We are celebrating the 20th anniversary of Wikipedia! Join us for this fun online screening and discussion program featuring short video clips that illustrate ideas about how Wikipedia is part of popular culture. As part of this 60-minute program, we will model practices for implementing viewing and discussion activities in a fully-online context.
