I am a La Trobe University student assigned to edit wikipedia pages.
This is the workshop that supports the Evidence Based Oral Health Practice (ORH3EBP) Group Assignment in the Oral Health program at La Trobe University.
The assignment requires you to:
- Create a Wiki account for yourself – choose a user name that is not your real name and ensure this is given to me
- Access the nominated Wikipedia page on a regular basis throughout the study period
- Decide on the important areas of information that are needed – what information do people need? This could form the basis of ‘sections’ on the page.
- Edit the information on the page to ensure it is evidence based – academic references must be provided to support the information you are using. (1000 words required)
- Engage in the ‘talk’ linked to the Wikipage.
