Tutorial Instructions: Complete Activities 1& 2:

Activity 1 - From Scratch[

Find an article on a topic that you are interested in or are knowledgeable about. Have a look at the first substantial edit on that page through its revision history.

If you had created this article first - what would you have done differently? If you were the second reader, how would you have edited the article? Write up your thoughts on your user page (100-200 words is plenty).

Activity 2 - Share your User Space

Send a link to your user page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:username/OLES2129) from your University email to carrol.quadrio@sydney.edu.au. Email subject line should be OLES2129 - Activity 1 or OLES2129 - Activity 2 depending on which activity you chose.

Activity 1 - Citation Hunt

https://tools.wmflabs.org/citationhunt - Add a needed citation through this link (if you can find a reliable source!). Put a link of the changes on your user page.

For information on what constitutes a reliable source - check here: Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources

Complete the following In your Wikipedia tutorial folder, titled Week 6:

9am-11am students (include your seminar time on your tutorial page) : Students were sent a sample of a completed assessment. I expect this was very useful. Do you think it would be also be useful/ not useful to have a seminar which demonstrates how you could format the assessment directly on to your draft page (the draft page is the space that you will be working on your article)? Why or why not?

11-1pm and 1-3pm students (include your seminar time on your tutorial page): Last week you were given a lesson on formatting that incorporated how to set up a style guide for the assessment using your draft wikipedia page. This was done intentionally to make learning more relevant, to see that what was being demonstrated/taught had a practical application. Please post a sentence or two on your tutorial page that describes the impact this lesson had on your understanding of using Wikipedia formatting and on the style expectations of the assessment.

3-5pm students (include your seminar time on your tutorial page) : In a sentence or two explain if you would prefer a video demonstrating how to format your assessment on your draft page, a live seminar demonstrating this, or a document with the format (and you would work it out) neither, both or all three. Give reasons for your choices.

Remember to send the link of your draft folder to my email if you haven't done so already. Note, you can always email me with nice things to say as well as any questions you have: <a"mailto:carrol.quadrio@sydney.edu.au">Send email</a>
