This wikipedia collaborative learning project is designed to serve as a learning module on Climate Change in Southeast Asian Studies. The module includes 8 class meetings which are distributed throughout the 16-week semester of the course. At the end of this project, students will learn about the current status of climate change impact in Southeast Asia through writing and editing wikipedia contents. I expect that students' contribution will have an emphasis on the historical and cultural analyses.

  • Polish your article, and format it to match Wikipedia's tone and standards.
  • Read Editing Wikipedia page 15 to review a final check-list before completing your assignment.
  • Don't forget that you can ask for help from your Wikipedia Expert at any time!
