Week 2 homework

[edit]

Do:

  • Compile a short list of open education articles you might want to work on (see the Communicate OER Content page for ideas). List these on your user page or talk page. This task is critical as it feeds into your main assignment for the course, to be introduced in Week 3.
  • Read the Communicate OER Content page and/or open educational resources article
  • Review the OER article, or any article you plan to work on, on its talk page. Is it relevant/thorough? What would you like to change, add or delete? See here for suggestions about how to post your review: WP:Communicate OER Article Review
  • Continue making small edits to one or more Wikipedia articles: fixing typos, sentence structure, adding photographs; practice on your own. See Wikipedia:Community portal for a list of suggested pages to fix, categorized by the kind of work they need. (See Wikipedia:articles for improvement in particular!)
