Abstract
Introductory Psychology students (N=41) took part in Wikipedia’s PSYCH+Feminism initiative, collaboratively editing 21 new biographies about distinguished women in psychological science. We describe how we scaffolded the assignment to make it feasible for students to complete, and highlight the impact of Wikipedia editing on general education skill development.
