The "Ethnography of the World" course in the Department of Ethnology at National Chengchi University is a required course for freshmen, aiming to help students understand contemporary ethnic groups. Since traveling is not feasible, the course focuses on contributing to Chinese Wikipedia, allowing students to apply their knowledge while benefiting Taiwan’s online community. In collaboration with Wikimedia Taiwan, the Taiwan Education Project/NCCU Ethnography of the World Study Project ran from 2016 to 2020. Over six years, students produced numerous entries, achieving significant results but also facing challenges. This session reviews the teaching experience and analyzes the advantages and limitations of integrating Wikipedia writing into university courses.
