As we stated already earlier, we believe that the constructivist, encyclopedic environment of Wikipedia can serve as a seedbed for academic writing practice. Therefore we will after midterm 2 of DevChrI (Dep of Linguistics; having successfully gone through ten learning units) introduce the Wikipedia editing/publishing process to our students.
→ First step will be to give each student a chance to get familiar with their personal Wikipedia sandbox. Here they are supposed to keep a journal while exploring Wikipedia. They'll link their sandbox to our "project page". The project page serves as a kind of blog that will point to areas of exploration, guide activities and set time limits thus keeping each participant updated and part of the team work.
→ Second step will be to let each student propose three smaller article corrections and/or additions. The proposals will be made on our project page and shortly later be discussed in real-time on our dedicated irc channel.

→ Third step will be to download the above PDF manual about editing. Each chapter of this manual has to be studied and discussed on irc. The study of the additional manuals is optional at this time.
