Wikipedia:School of Open course self-paced

	Writing Wikipedia Articles (#WIKISOO ) self-paced version
	[ course home page ]    class pages: [ badges ]

Writing Wikipedia Articles is a free online course developed in collaboration with the School of Open, and conducted right here on Wikipedia. This is the self-paced version of the course, divided into six lessons. Each lesson includes a one-hour instructional video, reading materials, how-to videos and exercises. If you get stuck, post class-specific questions to the WikiProject Open

for new editors. Do I need to spend a whole week on each lesson, you ask? Of course not! We often do refer to each lesson by week, however, because the course was originally structured as a live one. Week One = Lesson One, Week Six = Lesson Six, etc. Happy editing!
