At the University of Edinburgh, our Wikimedian in Residence has provided, for over 8 years, a free central service to all staff and students across the whole University, supporting teaching, learning and research and our key institutional commitments to develop digital literacy, data literacy, information literacy and, importantly, equality, diversity and inclusion.
Colleagues from a number of schools and colleges have integrated Wikipedia and Wikidata editing assignments into their courses. Editing Wikipedia provides valuable opportunities for students to develop their digital research and communication skills, and enables them to contribute to the creation and dissemination of open knowledge.
