Wikipedia has a section dedicated to the topic of schools and universities using Wikipedia for educational purposes. Here are some of their suggested exercises:
Suggested exercises
- Try having students start at an existing or requested article:
- Tell students to take existing orphaned articles and link them into appropriate places:
- Tell students to fix spelling, factual, grammatical, and other errors.
- Have students translate articles into English from another language.
- Wikipedia:Translation into English. As of February 2005 we have an enormous backlog of requested translations from German.
- Students could translate our featured articles into other languages or write their own.
- Have students contribute to a subject-matter area that has generally been neglected.
- Students could work on the collaboration of the week.
- Students could help with the projects at one of the Wikiportals (pages organizing projects on a broad subject area)
- Students could add citations to existing pages, thus helping to improve the credibility of Wikipedia while they learn the significance of citing sources. (Wikipedia:Citing sources and Wikipedia:Forum for Encyclopedic Standards.)
