The task is to improve the function, usability and design of the course pages for both professors and students. Wikipedia Education program supports the use of Wikipedia in academia.
At the moment the course page system is running as a wikipedia extension. In future the module is planned to be independent and integrated with Wikipedia through the API. The research is supposed to provide some early stage prototype-based testing for the design and functionality, as well as include user experiences from the past in the ongoing development.
The project is part of OPW round 9 and mentored by Sage Ross and Andrew Russell Green .
