So what can we teach using Wikipeida?

Thu 10 May 2007, 11:06 pm

In a First Year Experience class this year, I had a chance to work with students on a Wikipedia writing project. I hope it taught them more generalizable skills for understanding and critiquing potential sources in their academic writing.

This comes to us via Jessy, a portrait of student John Thorp, one of her users.

Tutt Library gets a nice mention for our use of social software, which leads me to think about what that really says about MPOW (and what it might mean for YPOW.

Michael Bérubé at Colorado College

Thu 2 Nov 2006, 10:00 pm

I have mentioned before my weakness for over-prolific alpha geeks and librarians. There is at least one over-prolific alpha academic who inspires me, and that is Michael Bérubé. Bérubé was on the Colorado College campus today, and I was able to hear him speak to a faculty luncheon today on “Cultural studies in the Bush [...]
