Our Classroom Program — where higher education instructors use our support and help resources to teach their students to add course content to relevant Wikipedia articles — has thrived and grown over the past eight years. During that time, we’ve listened to and learned from our participants, adapting our support and tools to better fit their needs.
As we differentiate our programs and continue to grow, we’re making a few changes again. The Classroom Program will now be called the Wikipedia Student Program. The Wikipedia Student Program will continue to operate in the same way as the Classroom Program has for years. Instructors in the United States and Canada may receive free access to Wiki Education’s course management tools (i.e. the Dashboard), our assignment design consulting, and staff support for students as they navigate the Wikipedia universe. The only difference is this new name.
If you have any questions, please direct them to me, the Wikipedia Student Program Manager, at helaine@wikiedu.org.
