Abstract 

The Wikimedian in Residence at the University of Edinburgh has been helping academic colleagues implement digital capability development across a range of curricular courses since 2016. This has facilitated a growing understanding among students and staff of how information is created, challenged and shared online. Courses that have benefitted from Wikimedia activities include Translation Studies, Design Informatics and Online History. During this session we will share a number of case studies of successfully implementing Wikimedia activities and digital capabilities in the curriculum at The University of Edinburgh.

Part 1 of the talk is by Satu Kapiainen, Head of Digital Skills, Design and Training at The University of Edinburgh’s Information Services Group. (From start until 11 mins 30 secs approx.)

Part 2 of the talk is by Ewan McAndrew, Wikimedian in Residence at the University, facilitating a sustainable and mutually beneficial relationship between the University and Wikimedia UK. (from 11 mins 30 until 27 mins).
