Wikimedia Spain launches the booklet ‘Educational Institutions and Wikimedia: Learning, Creating, and Sharing Knowledge,’ a practical guide for teachers and educational institutions interested in integrating Wikimedia projects into their teaching and learning processes.
Through real-life experiences and practical examples, the booklet shows how Wikipedia and the Wikimedia ecosystem can be incorporated into the classroom to promote active, collaborative learning based on free knowledge.
Wikimedia in education: learning by creating knowledge
The guide includes educational initiatives in which students actively participate in the creation and improvement of content in Wikimedia projects. This approach allows them to develop key skills such as:
- Rigorous research and critical thinking
- Academic writing and communication
- Digital and media literacy
- Collaborative work in open environments
- Responsible use of free licences
In addition, it contributes to expanding and improving access to knowledge in co-official and unofficial languages, making knowledge and experiences that are usually less represented more visible.
A partnership between education and open knowledge
The Wikimedia movement is a global community committed to making knowledge free, accessible and shared.
Integrating its projects into education allows schools, universities and associations to connect their academic objectives with the creation of open educational resources, promoting participatory and networked teaching.
