This wikipedia collaborative learning project is designed to serve as a learning module on Climate Change in Southeast Asian Studies. The module includes 8 class meetings which are distributed throughout the 16-week semester of the course. At the end of this project, students will learn about the current status of climate change impact in Southeast Asia through writing and editing wikipedia contents. I expect that students' contribution will have an emphasis on the historical and cultural analyses.
