This is the Wikipedia dashboard for students enrolled in ENC 3334: Introduction to Writing Studies with Dr. Martorana during the Spring 2023 semester. In this aspect of our course, we will write and edit Wikipedia articles on topics related to the Field of Writing Studies. In doing so, we will 1) hone our digital literacy skills by contributing our writing and research to a digital platform, 2) increase the amount of factually-accurate content on Wikipedia, and 3) critically think about the information we're learning in our class so that we can share it in accessible, interesting ways for a public audience.

The above resources provide important information about Wikipedia policies and some of the different parts of the course dashboard you'll be using throughout the semester.

Milestones

By class time on 1/26, everyone should create an account and join this course page, using the enrollment link Dr. M sent you. (Because of Wikipedia's technical restraints, you may receive a message that you cannot create an account. To resolve this, please try again off campus or the next day.)

Please remember to create a unique username for Wikipedia that allows you to edit/write anonymously. Do not sure your actual first/last name. Since you are enrolled as a student on our Wikipedia dashboard, your actual first/last name will be visible to Dr. M.
