This innovative course was adapted from a Wikipedia-centric course model applied at TAU twice: at the School of Medicine (since 2013); and scaling up to accommodate a multi-disciplinary audience campus-wide (since 2015). The third course featured not only Wikipedia but also Wikidata, Wikipedia’s younger sister project, to scale up again and allow broader social impact and a greater focus on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Wikidata is an open, multilingual knowledge base containing structured, linked data and is the largest “big data” platform humanity created, based on Tim Berners-Lee’s vision of a Semantic Web. The new course aimed to facilitate a collaborative construction of free knowledge, or rather Open Educational Resources (OER), via both Wikipedia and Wikidata. This is part of an Open Pedagogy approach to teaching and learning, focusing on Renewable or Non-Disposable Assessment. It aims to improve participants’ academic, digital and data literacies, and make them better critical thinkers regarding consumed information, raising awareness of issues such as copyrights, knowledge gaps, biases and fake news. The course highlighted issues such as social impact, the Gender Gap and DEI. Items created in the course were viewed hundreds of thousands of times, noting a positive social impact. This chapter investigates the course design and implementation, while focusing on Wikidata’s integration into the academic curriculum, and highlights the benefits and challenges for students and faculty. Findings will focus on (1) course outcomes, (2) students’ perception of their learning experiences and (3) benefits of using Wikidata as a learning platform in higher education. Finally, the course will be discussed from a wider educational perspective, presenting insights regarding re-use, scaling possibilities and suggestions for further research.},
