This document summarizes research on Wikipedia from the perspective of scholars. It discusses gender gaps in participation and editing on Wikipedia, finding that women interact in a more positive tone, edit arts topics more, and have their edits reverted more often. Research also shows Wikipedia covers more historical figures than traditional encyclopedias and its biographies are as accurate as Britannica's. The document advocates for teaching students visual literacy, critical thinking, the construction of knowledge, research and writing skills through assigning work on Wikipedia.

Homeschooling and public schooling each have benefits and drawbacks. Homeschooling allows for personalized learning without some of the social pressures of public school but comes with the challenges of designing curriculum. Public school provides a standardized education and socialization opportunities but often has larger class sizes with less individual attention. Overall, both methods can be effective depending on the needs and learning styles of the specific student.

Authority Cascades: A presentation strategy for Linked Open Data
As Linked Open Data is increasingly embraced throughout the cultural heritage sector, we are moving from an environment of data scarcity to an environment of data overload. For example, often we no longer have a single authority for the names and identities of the participants in some activity or event, but two, three, or even more. Getty ULAN, VIAF, Wikidata, and other authorities provide a wealth of information about important people throughout history. However, no authority is comprehensive, and due to the Open World Assumption different authorities may provide conflicting or inconsistent information about a single participant.
While Linked Open Data is designed to accomodate these conflicts at the data level, this new profusion of authority records presents problems and requires new strategies for dealing with overlaps and conflicts in the presentation of Linked Open Data. Also, often there exist records that do not exist in any authority, but that emerge through research and must be incorporated in any given project.
I propose a short presentation on authority cascades, a practical technique for both querying and accomodating these inconsistencies in a logical, easily understandable way. This technique allows for institutions or projects to leverage Linked Open Data, while remaining their own “authority of last resort”. By cascading down a implementation-defined list of authority sources, a single, comprehensive presentation of information can be created.

Wikipedia is a free, web-based, multilingual encyclopedia created through collaborative editing. It was founded in 2001 by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger and has grown rapidly, with over 15 million articles across hundreds of language editions. While open to public editing, several studies have found Wikipedia's accuracy compares favorably to traditional encyclopedias, with some professors including it in their course materials. Wikipedia has become a widely used reference source in academia, journalism, and politics due to its cultural influence and accessibility of information.
SSP Annual Report
The Society for Science & the Public launched the Science News in High Schools program in September 2015 to provide over 200,000 students at more than 270 schools free access to Science News content. Several foundations and donors sponsored schools to participate. The program produced educator guides to help teachers incorporate the materials into their curriculum. According to a teacher, having access to Science News will greatly enhance her limited science resources.
Intro to wikis in education (1)
This document summarizes a workshop about using wikis in K-12 education. It introduces wikis and their educational applications, such as collaboratively writing class texts and projects. It discusses the differences between the read-only web and read/write web. The workshop consists of activities like evaluating educational wikis, editing a wiki page, and creating wikis. Benefits include engagement, collaboration and 21st century skills, while concerns include information literacy and inappropriate content.
Information Literacy Lessons in Wikipedia
Can you imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge? Every day Wikipedia’s audacious vision comes closer to reality, as humans (and other information services) exploit this top-ranking information source.
Here is an opportunity for educators to learn about how Wikipedia works to realise its position as a ‘neutral compilation of verifiable, established facts.’ and consider what information literacy education looks like in 2015, and how Wikipedia projects provide a way to move from a consumer to creator culture of learning.
Wikipedia as a Platform for Change
This document discusses making Wikipedia more diverse by addressing biases. It provides an overview of Wikipedia, noting its size but also biases like gender, racial, and cultural representation gaps in coverage and the editor base. It discusses initiatives like WikiProjects, AfroCROWD and Whose Knowledge that aim to broaden representation. The document encourages non-profits to use and contribute to Wikipedia to share knowledge, but notes challenges like biases that organizations could help address by editing, contributing content about underrepresented groups, and collaborating with Wikimedia through outreach.

Diversity and Inclusion in Wikipedia
Presentation on the role of information architects in improving diversity and inclusion of underrepresented topics in Wikipedia, given at the 2017 Information Architecture Summit in Vancouver on March 25, 2017.
Wikipedia is the world's largest encyclopedia; however, fair representation of notable, but underrepresented people and topics remains a major concern. In response, the Wikimedia Foundation has supported many grassroots efforts including Women in Red, Art+Feminism, Wiki Loves Pride, Black Lunch Table and AfroCROWD, among others, to improve discovery of these topics.
This presentation offered an overview of current efforts to diversify the information available on Wikipedia. Learn how we can use our Information Architecture skills and Wikimedia tools to improve the findability and representation of valuable, but missing information, and start contributing to the topics you care about.

The article argues that Wikipedia should not be completely dismissed as an unreliable source of information. While it may contain occasional inaccuracies, several factors contribute to its overall reliability: 1) It has over 1,500 administrators who monitor changes and protect pages from vandalism. 2) Studies have found Wikipedia to be as accurate on average as the Encyclopedia Britannica. 3) Many measures are in place to prevent erroneous or biased information from being posted without review. Therefore, while students should verify facts from other sources, Wikipedia can be a good starting point for research if used critically and cautiously.
