Abstract (in about 300 words)

This session will present the importance of Wikipedia for learners. The participants will understand the significance of learning from Wikipedia. Nowadays students use Wikipedia for their learning and teachers use it for teaching. ThisPresentation will cover the significance of Wikipedia to the students and teachers. This session will include the needs of outreach activity among the learners.

Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia. As a source of huge information, Wikipedia helps the students and teachers. I can present in the session for the preparation of creating and editing useful articles. This motivation can help to think about the community, think about the students of different grades, and then start writing articles in your own community project.

As an editor, Wikipedians need to be careful for the topics of the learners. Students need to learn a lot of topics. Different students of various grades read different articles. So we need articles on various topics.

The editors may be a student, or a teacher. So they need to think about the books, chapters, units and lessons of the books.To write on different topics we can take the help from templates. We’ll get a lot of templates from English Wikipedia.

Working with students is a challenge. I can share my ideas of editing several articles. Our aim is to educate students and to fulfil this aim, we contribute to the projects. We can also join in the Wikipedia education program.
