• In Event: STC- What's in Wikipedia and should my students use it? A Research Study

Short Description

This presentation is a follow-up on our last conference presentation where we explored the recent trends in scholarship regarding student use of Wikipedia and demonstrated strategies using Wikipedia to teach the five conceptual frames as defined by the ACRL Framework. In our followup presentation, we present the study methodology, data collection and assessment instruments, and the data collected from our study designed to test the efficacy and effectiveness of our previously presented instructional strategies using Wikipedia to teach the ACRL Frameworks: Scholarship as Conversation and Authority is Constructed and Contextual.
