Using Wikipedia in the classroom has been shunned traditionally by some teachers because it is written by volunteers on the internet. But it is precisely that crowdsourced nature that makes Wikipedia such a compelling tool in the classroom, says Nichole Saad, senior program manager for education at Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit that owns Wikipedia.

I’ve already written an overview and some thoughts on the ALTC keynotes, this post is an additional reflection on some of my personal highlights of the conference. 

 

I was involved in three sessions this year; Wikipedia belongs in education with Wikimedia UK CEO Lucy Crompton-Reid and UoE Wikimedian in Residence Ewan McAndrew, Influential voices – developing a blogging service based on trust and openness with DLAM’s Karen Howie, and Supporting Creative Engagement and Open Education at the University of Edinburgh with LTW colleagues Charlie Farley and Stewart Cromar.  All three sessions went really well, with lots of questions and engagement from the audience.

When students can distill course topics into the essential information, translate that for a general audience, and then post that information in a public place – that feels good. Instructors who use our tools to assign students to create or expand Wikipedia articles often tell us about the confidence and empowerment that their students find in the exercise. Students get to be the expert. And sometimes they are the best ones to translate complex academic topics for a general audience because they remember what it was like to learn it for the first time.

Wikipedia is a great source for data analysis due to its outstanding scale and the graph structure. Tens of millions of visitors surf it daily, leaving their footprint on the Web. The combination of the Wikipedia graph structure and visitor activity on the pages gives us the dynamic graph – the graph with time-series signals on the nodes. The dynamic nature of the graph makes the large-scale analysis problem complicated.

In the original paper we analyze the Wikipedia graph. The aim is to detect events and collective memories using the activity of the Wikipedia visitors. We use graph-based approach to build our model. The computational model is inspired by the synaptic plasticity and Hebbian theory.

It looks like Turkey has some serious issues regarding online free speech. On Saturday, the country has blocked Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia over an alleged “smear campaign.” As Reuters reports, some of the articles purported that the Turkish government was coordinating with militant groups, which the country deemed improper or a threat to national security.
