Wikipedia and MediaWiki: two key elements of a wikipedogagy practice

Produção científica Integrada no âmbito da Rede Académica Internacional WEIWER®, UID4372/FCT Laboratório de Educação a Distância e Elearning, Universidade Aberta. ; Atas do XXV Simpósio Internacional de Informática Educativa, realizado no Instituto Politécnico de Setúbal, de 16-18 de novembro de 2023. ; In this text we aim to present the planning of the curricular integration of Wikipedia in Higher Education, more specifically in the course “Research in Education”, of the 1st year, 1st semester, of the Master programme in Information Management and School Libraries of the Open University Portugal. The pedagogical exploration of this encyclopedia in this master's degree began in the academic year of 2020/2021. However, the innovation now lies in the fact that we are proposing to replace one of the platforms formerly used (Google Docs) by MediaWiki, and expand the activities in this software. So, in addition to editing the Wikipedia articles in the encyclopedia’s main domain, students will simultaneously work in the Wikipedia test pages and in the Open Textbook, also created in MediaWiki, about the topics related to the 3rd theme of the course, ‘Research in Education: data collection and analysis’. At a pedagogical level, work is designed to be collaborative, bearing in mind active methodologies, like Flipped Learning, in the framework of Open Education, ultimately targeting at the development of the Wikiliteracies, as embodied in a Wikipedagogy practice. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
