Hi all, my recent "Ten ways educators can use Wikipedia" article has gone down so well that I've been asked for follow-up articles. The first one of these is out today as a guest post on the CILIP blog. CILIP is the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals, so this is a way to reach a lot of the library community, including university librarians who support courses or deliver student inductions. The article expands on a few of the "Ten ways".

The "Ten ways" article is at http://www.jisc.ac.uk/inform/inform39/TenWaysEducatorsCanUseWikipedia.html Amongst others on this list, I should credit Alex Stinson who started me off with lots of these ideas and introduced me to Is/Is Not exercises which I still use in my workshops.
