To celebrate World Soil Day on December 5th, UBC will be hosting a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon focused on adding more content to Wikipedia about soils and soil science.
Editing Wikipedia is a way for faculty, students and staff to engage in open collaboration, and contribute to public knowledge. Wikipedia Edit-a-thons improve the encyclopedia and can be a great way to work with the platform and consider how it might be used in your courses or teachinag and learning practice.
The event will take place on Tuesday, December 5, 2017 from 1 to 4pm in the Orchard Commons Study Lounge. More information is available on the event project page. The edit-a-thon is open and no registration is needed. Please bring your own laptop. No prior experience necessary!
