You can recall these learning questions below: 1. How will participating in a Wikipedia editathon contribute to an editor’s identity as a co-creator of open education resources? 2. Will participation in targeted editing events highlight the need for (and current knowledge gap in) scientific Wikipedia articles in native (non-English) languages? 3. What subject-matter learning gains will participants report after editing relevant articles? 4. How can Wikipedia editathons act as meeting points and discussion spaces for participants from diverse backgrounds? 5. How can a Wikipedia ediathon contribute to learning and assessment activities in classroom environments?
5. Did anything unexpected or surprising happen when implementing your activities? This can include both positive and negative situations. What did you learn from those experiences? (required)
