== About EduWiki 2013 ==
Wikimedia UK is the national charity supporting the eleven Wikimedia projects (including Wikipedia, Wikiversity, Wikibooks, and Wikinews) in their mission to give free knowledge to everyone in the world. EduWiki is its annual education conference, bringing staff from universities, schools and other sectors together with wiki contributors. Together we explore how Wikimedia sites can support innovative, active, low-cost activities for learners, promoting subject skills and general information literacy. As well as these educational objectives, our collaborations can advance the goal of global, freely-available lifelong learning.
Wikipedia and its sister sites are increasingly used as platforms for educational assignments, in the UK and internationally. The conference is a chance to discover opportunities; report lessons learned; and explore how the free, open, learner-centred ethos of Wikimedia overlaps current trends in formal education.


Themes addressed in the 2013 event included:

== About EduWiki 2013 ==
== Slides from presentations ==
A recent white paper from TurnItIn, the online plagiarism-prevention service used widely across higher education in the UK, claims that "Wikipedia has an outsized presence as a content source for student writing".<ref>TurnItIn White Paper. 'The Sources in Student Writing - Higher Education', p.10</ref> This study is based on an analysis of over 112 million content matches from 28 million student papers submitted to TurnItIn between July 2011 and June 2012. 11% of these content matches are from Wikipedia. However, the same report is quick to explain that Wikipedia has academic merit in terms of educational value. TurnItIn's recommendation is to "educate students that the true value of Wikipedia is to provide a curated summary on a topic, and that they should follow the sources and citations at the bottom of Wikipedia entries to verify the accuracy of the information and to uncover primary source material".<ref>ibid. p.11</ref>

===Comments from participants===
* Open Educational Resources
''I wanted to thank wikimedia UK for organizing EduWiki 2013. I think they did a fantastic  job with the conference, managed to get the right people there, opened doors to make things happen and left me motivated to continue to do educational outreach for Wikinews. Combine that with good wifi and decent food, I cannot wait for next year's conference. My only request would be less rain.'' - Laura Hale
* Critical thinking, digital literacy and wiki-literacy
* Assessment and accreditation
* Open learning communities such as Wikiversity


[[/Call for proposals|Wikmedia UK has invited proposals for papers, presentation, provocations and/or posters]], especially ones addressing the Wikipedia problem highlighted by the TurnItIn white paper. Proposal for panels and roundtable discussions from groups of three or four participants were also encouraged. A further [[/Event ideas|call for editathon and/or hackaton ideas during or immediately after the conference]] was also available. All calls are now closed. A good number of proposals have been submitted and are now being carefully considered.
''I just want to get back to you in order to thank you for the great Education conference you all organized. I will take home a lot of inspiration and try to include some of the points - together with Charles - in our planned education activities in Switzerland for the next year. Furthermore I appreciate a lot that we got a slot to present KIWIX in front of all attendants. All the best - and hope to see you soon.'' - Muriel Staub


=== Conference Schedule ===
''Thanks to @wikimedia for a great #EduWiki conference. Even more motivated to start a monthly Wiki Wednesday meet up on our #Lampeter campus'' - Kate Fisher
''A detailed schedule will be available in early September.''


The conference begins on Friday morning and ends on Saturday afternoon, but will be followed by further activities (walking tours, edit-a-thons and a hack-a-thon) on Saturday evening and Sunday morning.
''I'm now convinced of the importance of Wikipedia in open educational practices.'' - Brian Kelly


The programme will eventually be assembled on this page by the same process of good faith collaboration that drives Wikipedia and its sister projects.
''Thank you to Wikimedia UK, and all the contributors for organising this event. All the presentations were engaging and the attendees and contributors a great bunch of people!''
