;Summary of the event
EduWiki was a day-and-a-half conference looking at Wikipedia, Wikiversity and related charitable projects, not in terms of educational ''resources'', but educational ''practice'', including collaboration, open review, and global participation. It was a chance to talk about innovative work in your classroom, your institution or online community, and shape the future of Wikimedia UK's work in this area.

We explored the ways these projects can support innovative education. We discussed the Wikipedia Education Program (in which university students improve Wikipedia articles for course credit). We learned from universities where the program is already embedded, exploring the educational opportunities and drawing lessons from the experience so far.

Feedback from a participant:

''Not being an education provider or likely contributor to the event, I was thrilled to bits to be asked and even more thrilled to be able to attend. Leaving with increased enthusiasm towards the Wikimedia project, I have now applied to become a member and have gained just enough confidence to start contributing to articles. Once again, thanks and I look forward to the continued growth and hopefully my useful participation in what has to be a truly exciting effort towards an informed global community.''
