From our inception in 2013, Wiki Education has supported instructors at more than 500 universities who have incorporated creating new content for Wikipedia into their curriculum. Students gain 21st century skills including media literacy, writing and research development, and critical thinking, while content gaps on Wikipedia are filled as a result of students’ contributions. These efforts have resulted in more new content than was in the last print edition of Encyclopædia Britannica. New editors recruited through Wiki Education account for 19% of new contributors to the English Wikipedia. Read more about our impact… OR teach a Wikipedia writing assignment…

We collaborate with institutions like the National Archives and the Smithsonian, as well as with a range of academic associations on projects aimed at better informing the general public. We have expanded our course offerings to include trainings about Wikidata, the open knowledge database that powers virtual assistants like Alexa and Siri.
