Wikipedia U by Thomas Leitch
Knowledge, Authority, and Liberal Education in the Digital Age
Explores how the online encyclopedia challenges traditional notions of expertise, authorship, and academic authority, arguing that its collaborative, iterative model can strengthen liberal education. Surveying controversies over reliability, neutrality, and vandalism, it shows how engaging with the platform develops research skills, critical reading, and ethical participation. Offering practical strategies for course design and assessment, it proposes integrating editing and evaluation into curricula while acknowledging the platform’s limitations and the institutional shifts needed to make such reforms effective.
