In the first project, you will be asked to learn about Wikipedia, its norms, rules, and processes. With this knowledge, you will all be asked to research and write a new article in Wikipedia on a topic of your choice and to publish this article in the encyclopedia. As part of this process, you will interact with other community members who are not part of the class. Afterward, you will be asked to write a short essay piece to reflect on this process and to connect your experience to the conceptual course material where appropriate. | In the first project, you will be asked to learn about Wikipedia, its norms, rules, and processes.

We will use material from [https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/courses/University_of_Washington/COM_482_Interpersonal_Media_-_Online_Communities__(Winter_2018) WikiEdu], a program by the Wikimedia Foundation, to help you learn how to participate in Wikipedia. Every Friday during this first component of this class, there will be a assignment due that corresponds to one step in the process of getting involved in Wikipedia. Most weeks this will involve completing learning modules and assignments in WikiEdu. These Wikipedia participation assignments won't be synced up with the theory, but they will provide with you lots of opportunity to reflect on the theoretical work we are covering. | We will use material from [https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/courses/University_of_Washington/COM_482_Interpersonal_Media_-_Online_Communities__(Winter_2018) WikiEdu], a program by the Wikimedia Foundation, to help you learn how to participate in Wikipedia.
