“…She also found the vast majority of articles contributed by the students were deleted within a week. She suggested that students should engage in editing Wikipedia, but the learning process should not s op he e. "The s eng h o h s exe c se comes om h v ng s u en s o se ve, scuss, n w te about wh h ppens o he cles e hey pu l sh hem on he s e." Purdy (2010) proposed that the distinctions between student research (i.e., reading up on a topic) and writing are blurred by Web 2.0 services like Wikipedia, JSTOR, ARTstor and del.icio.us. He suggested that JSTOR and ARTstor could adopt Wikipedia's functionality by associating discussion pages with archived texts and images.…”

Wikipedia has become one of the ten most visited sites on the Web, and the world's leading source of Web reference information. Its rapid success has inspired hundreds of scholars from various disciplines to study its content, communication and community dynamics from various perspectives. This article presents a systematic review of scholarly research on Wikipedia. We describe our detailed, rigorous methodology for identifying over 450 scholarly studies of Wikipedia. We present the WikiLit website (http://wikilit.referata.com), where most of the papers reviewed here are described in detail. In the major section of this article, we then categorize and summarize the studies. An appendix features an extensive list of resources useful for Wikipedia researchers.

This paper explores building blocks in extant and emerging social media toward the possibilities they offer to the scholarly edition in electronic form, positing that we are witnessing the nascent stages of a new social edition existing at the intersection of social media and the digital editing. Beginning with a typological formulation of electronic scholarly editions, activities common to humanities scholars who engage texts as expert readers are considered, noting that many methods of engagement both reflect the interrelated nature of long-standing professional reading strategies and are social in nature; extending this framework, the next steps in the scholarly edition's development in its incorporation of social media functionality reflect the importance of traditional humanistic activities and workflows, and include collaboration, incorporating contributions by its readers and re-visioning the role of the editor away from ultimate authority and more toward facilitator of reader involvement. Intended to provide a 'toolkit' for academic consideration, this discussion of the emerging social edition points to new methods of textual engagement in digital literary studies and is accompanied by two integral, detailed appendices: one addressing issues pertinent to online reading and interaction, and another on social networking tools.

“…One way to enhance learning and engagement in the game is to allow collaboration by proposing a multiplayer environment. Currently, we observe the emergence and success of online multiplayer games in the world [3] and even in education [4]. Multiplayer Learning Games (MLG) usually immerse the players in a virtual 2D or 3D environment [5] and propose collaborative activities.…”

Our research deals with the development of a new type of game-based learning environment: (M)MORPG based on mixed reality, applied in the archaeological domain. In this paper, we propose a learning scenario that enhances players' motivation thanks to individual, collaborative and social activities and that offers a continuous experience between the virtual environment and real places (archaeological sites, museum). After describing the challenge to a rich multidisciplinary approach involving both computer scientists and archaeologists, we present two types of game: multiplayer online role-playing games and mixed reality games. We build on the specificities of these games to make the design choices described in the paper. We also present three modular features we have developed to support independently three activities of the scenario. The proposed approach aims at raising awareness among people on the scientific approach in Archaeology, by providing them information in the virtual environment and encouraging them to go on real sites. We finally discuss the issues raised by this work, such as the tensions between the perceived individual, team and community utilities, as well as the choice of the entering point in the learning scenario (real or virtual) for the players' involvement in the game.
