I am currently offering a course on Wikipedia for undergraduate History students. The course uses both Wikipedia and Moodle, and it's focused on discussions about documents, authorship, etc, and its implications on writing History and/for Wikipedia.
Since the Moodle platform is closed, I created a backup so that you can see what we're doing (currently on week 9 now). It's in Portuguese, but I do hope you can get some of the gist with Google translator. Sorry for the lack of CSS. http://domusaurea.org/curso_moodle_2012.html The course starts with discussions and case studies on each of the five pillars, and the first thing the students edit is their userpage (they get very excited with the userboxes). Then they learn how to write on talk pages and create sandboxes, etc. For this course, the students choose articles based on their own research topics (for their final course monograph). Please feel free to use and adapt this model if you think it can help. Comments are always very welcome. Juliana.
