Assignment design
Our Assignment Design Wizard will walk you through the key stages of a Wikipedia writing assignment, highlight important things to keep in mind, and let you select assignment options that make sense for your course. When you click "Publish" at the end, the wizard will post an assignment plan that you can use for your course — or at least use as a starting point for further customization.
The wizard is designed to make it easy to build an assignment that follows best practices. However, after publishing it you'll be able to change things around as much as you like. If some of the assignment options sound similar to what you would like to do in your course, but not exactly what you had in mind, you may find it useful to select those options and then edit things afterwards.
If you plan on having students research and write Wikipedia articles — either by starting new articles or improving existing ones — and you're ready to start putting together an assignment plan, continue on to the Assignment Design Wizard:
