For this assignment, students will be working with UBC’s Centre for Teaching and Learning Technology to edit and develop Wikipedia articles on Indigenous media. Students will be responsible for selecting and editing at least one Wikipedia entry on an Indigenous media maker (i.e. Skawennati or Jeneen Frei Njootli), a piece of Indigenous media (i.e. Ashes on the Water, Invaders), or an Indigenous media collective or school (i.e. AbTec, Postcommodity). The edit-a-thon will take place, in class (date TBA). In groups of three-four, you must create a list of at least 3 possible entries to edit and submit them to me, with justifications, 24 hours before the event.
Email me a word document with your edits and additions and the URL of your entry. Also include a screenshot of the original entry.
Reflection Paper: For this assignment, each individual group member is also responsible for submitting a 250-500-word reflection on the project. What went well? What didn’t go so well? What are you most proud of in your edit? What would you have liked to have been stronger? The reflection is also a place where you can share the work flow of your group. Did someone put extra effort into this assignment? Did someone not put in enough effort? These reflections are private and will not be shared with the group. I will be considering them when I determine your grades for the project.
