There is growing momentum in higher education for using Wikipedia as a learning tool in various contexts. These include, but are not limited to, the use of Wikipedia-based assignments to teach information literacy, science communication, evidence-based practice, and more. Although there is growing acceptance of Wikipedia’s value in the classroom, there are limited exemplars available for how it is applied in undergraduate health sciences education.</p> <p>Description: This program description describes a librarian instructed course in the Bachelor of Health Sciences Program at McMaster University in which students dedicate one academic term to learning about Wikipedia content production and making contributions to a health-related Wikipedia article of their choice.</p> <p>Outcomes: In the five iterations of this course that have been offered, undergraduate health sciences students have made significant contributions to 25 health-related articles in Wikipedia. They have added more than 120,000 words and over 2,000 references to high-quality literature. In class, conversations emerged about the meaningfulness of the editing Wikipedia, information literacy, and knowledge translation.</p>2023-12-01T00:00:00-07:00Copyright (c) 2023 Denise Smithhttps://journals.library.ualberta.ca/jchla/index.php/jchla/article/view/29750Editor's Message2023-11-01T09:45:52-06:00Megan Kennedy2023-12-01T00:00:00-07:00Copyright (c) 2023 Megan Kennedyhttps://journals.library.ualberta.ca/jchla/index.php/jchla/article/view/29735Virtual Services in the Health Sciences Library (book review)2023-09-08T12:59:19-06:00Alison Manley2023-12-01T00:00:00-07:00Copyright (c) 2023 Alison Manleyhttps://journals.library.ualberta.ca/jchla/index.php/jchla/article/view/29732Book Review of Bartlett, JA.
