  • Description:
    The International Year of Sound (IYS 2020) is a global initiative to highlight the importance of sound in all aspects of life. Wikipedia is an important channel to share science information with the public. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health partnered with several acoustical societies in organizing an online event to facilitate the improvement of Wikipedia content related to sound. The Wiki4YearOfSound2020 platform provided guidance on how to identify topics, improve, or translate existing articles. Throughout 2020, the Wikimedia outreach dashboard has been tracking progress, individual contributions, and their results, which reached tens of millions of views. A few educational programs tasked students to contribute high-quality content to Wikipedia as part of their class assignments. They used different dashboards to track progress. Students learned about the process and the value of translating science to the public. The goal of learning a topic well enough to be able to write in a style accessible to lay readers is challenging and requires more research than a traditional assignment. Finally, metrics made available by Wikipedia platforms were considered motivating and rewarding by instructors and students. [Description provided by NIOSH]
