Liaisoning between Wikipedia and geography education

Abstract

Students' use of Wikipedia articles is now an inevitable part of geography education in university.  While quality of those articles from Wikipedia, especially those of Japanese version, is often seriously questioned, students tend to rely on them rather carelessly in their writings.  By organizing collective efforts of professional geographers, AJG might contribute to improve both quality and quantity of geography related articles in Wikipedia, and there would be better chance of using Wikipedia articles as convenient teaching materials.
