I am mulling over a new research topic: what researchers think about
teaching with Wikipedia type of assignment AFTER having tried it? AFAIK
we have a lot of papers on how to teach with Wikipedia, some on effects
on students and some about what instructors think about Wikipedia in
general, but correct me if I am wrong, nobody has actually asked
instructors about their experience with it? And from my personal
experience with seeing such projects on Wikipedia, I think there's a lot
of people who try it once and don't come back and well, do we know why
outside educated guesses?
Right now I am just brainstorming this idea, so any thoughts, up to and
including suggestions for what questions to ask, etc. are appreciated.
Also, I am generally conducting solo research, and all my prior papers
on 'teaching with Wikipedia' have been solo authored (and my goal is as
always to turn this research into publishable paper), but if someone
really, really, really would want to join this project because they love
the idea, and would want to be a co-author of the future paper, and/or
present the results at a WikiSym or such that I sadly go to every five
years or so, feel free to send me a private message. No promises, but I
don't bite :)
