Taking the classroom as the unit where different processes and flows of the education system meet, we invite researchers, academic practitioners, students, artists, new media theorists, education policy actors and historians of knowledge to look at The Digital Classroom in the time of Wikipedia as an opportunity to question global trends in education and ways by which Wikipedia (and other such structures) can be fruitfully integrated in formal education towards better learning.
