Abstract
This session will outline a Wikipedia editing exercise that adds depth to a one-shot IL session. Participants will gain ideas for creating a workable Wikipedia editing assignment that targets students’ searching, evaluation, and reflective skills and helps them make important and nuanced realizations about Wikipedia.
