E-mail this message to a friend The deadline to sign up for a Wikipedia assignment in Winter/Spring 2023 is fast approaching. Submit your course by December 16 to ensure your spot in the Wikipedia Student Program! Visit
https://teach.wikiedu.org to sign up and find out more.
Whether tackling endangered languages, theory, or important linguists who have been left out of the records, there are so many ways your students can contribute!
There are never any fees to run a Wikipedia assignment, and Wiki Education provides robust support to ensure that you and your students learn the ins and outs of Wikipedia editing. Only faculty teaching courses at post-secondary institutions in the U.S. or Canada are eligible.
In a world rife with misinformation it's easy to feel helpless against the tide, but the Wikipedia assignment is your chance to bring a bit of truth and clarity to the muddied landscape.
I hope you'll join us in the spring in this important work!
Best,
Helaine
