Abstract

The article explores the use of Wikipedia in teaching history in the U.S. Topics include why Wikipedia is the world's most visited website, the lack of knowledge of digital natives about the process by which Wikipedia's articles are written and revised, a discussion of an assignment created at a University of Montevallo history class comparing traditional encyclopedia entries to their Wikipedia equivalents, and an overview of a Digital History elective course created at the university in 2014.
