Putting this together as two links I gathered on January 18, 2011, it seems that these have little to do with each other. The first si a link to a site that I occasionally point out to my students. it has some good advice, good arguments, and the occasional cartoon to make the case for effective, serious study. The second is about the tenth anniversary of Wikipedia, and the focus is on how Wikipedia is a useful tool for students. These do seem related after all.

“Â am going to give you some suggestions on how to study efficiently. They worked for me when I was in high school, college, and graduate school. Not only that, but they worked equally well for me in humanities courses (like philosophy and literature) and in science courses (like math and computer science). But, given that everyone’s learning style is different, some of my suggestions may not work for you, at least not without some individual modifications. Nevertheless, I urge you to try them. Most successful students use them (or some slight variation of them).”

“As Wikipedia hits its 10th year of operation, it is making efforts to involve academics more closely in its process. The latest is a new plan to build an “open educational resource platform†that will gather tools about teaching with Wikipedia in the classroom”
