Recommendation

In a lot of national education systems a lecturer must present an application including timetable to his department. An important point for this timetable is, that a lot of Wikipedia versions have their own way to review new articles, poll featured content or deal with university projects. Some important aspects for every project:

Inquiries: To write a Wikipedia article is a big deal for students. If they don`t know how to handle Wikipedia, you should teach the basics. They must check more literature above for a lot of regular coursework goals for an accepted article. The enquiries will need two to five weeks, teaching Wikipedia one or two days

Coordination: The "operationalization" will need some time. The students must learn how to edit Wikipedia and write an article. The local community will check this process and the results in the point of acceptable copyright, lemma, neutral point of view and so one. This can need one to three weeks.

Goals: If you wish to create featured content as one possible goal for your students, check the deadlines of the local poll processes or ask one of your Wikipedian facilitators to help. You can realize a lot of didactic goals with the featured content system. Some polls of featured content run between seven and 20 days, for example.

A small, six calendar week version uses this time table:

CW 1: Define concrete goals for your students and list your project including themes on Wikipedia. if you wish, recruit community volunteers to generate better community support and acceptance.
CW 2: Teaching the formal basics and how to write a good Wikipedia article (alternative: Invite a public speaker to do so). Your students should start enquiries to realize the goals.
CW 3: Enquiries
CW 4: Enquiries
CW 5: Realize the first draft on Wikipedia and check community reactions. The students should use the discourse to discuss their work and upgrading their article.
CW 6: Check the results and the realization of your goals

You can combine this module with different didactical goals and more ambitious efforts like the creation of featured content. Please consider that a project for ambitious articles will need more time for inquiries, writing, discussion and the polls.
