  1. Userpage: Kaolincash Third Person, Androgynous when online. • I formatted my userpage in such a way as to obfuscate personal information whilst providing readers with a sense of who I am. • I used a little humour to show I’m not likely to take things too seriously. • I included information about my personal projects and interests in media, and explained that my “active quest” is “studying Design for Digital Media”

  2. Overview, Sources, Research Area Dr. Connie Varnhagen Curriculum Vitae University of Alberta Centre for Teaching and Learning • Varnhagen was interviewed about her Applied Research, and this proved to be a valuable source of information that told us everything we needed to know about her ideas. • Varnhagen attempts to teach her students primary skills to help them make their own informed decisions. • “By viewing teaching and research in these ways, Dr. Varnhagen is able to provide her students with an enriched learning experience and to further her own research and teaching.” • http://ctl.ualberta.ca/teaching-services/profiles/connie-varnhagen-0 • Varnhagen herself has written about her work, subject and research areas. • This includes her ideas on Applied Research; integrating teaching at University and researching. • “People often make important decisions without empirical data. I enjoy assisting in applied research into societal issues and practical decision-making.” • Students are often taught theory but no practical skills, Varnhagen seeks to overcome this. • http://www.psych.ualberta.ca/~varn/research.htm

  3. Learning Experiences Talk Pages Citations • A similar issue and resolution arose with regard to citations, I was having trouble figuring out the format for a generic citation. • Another wikipedia user informed me that there was simply a “cite” button on any given editing page, and once I found it, it was very easy to use. • I struggled to get to grips with talk pages, and the methods of communication between two Wikipedia users via talk pages and “talkback”. • After joining Teahouse, another wikipedia user helped me to understand wikipedia’s messaging system.

  4. Learning Experiences Addressing the subject Other subjects • In order to get a basic idea for our style of formatting, we looked into other subjects in the Science and Academia category. • This led to the Wikipedia “Manual of Style/Biographies” which was helpful and went into further detail with regard to addressing the subject that other Wikipedia members had left out. • Several Wikipedia users helped our group with addressing the subject, something that remained inconsistent throughout the creation of our article. • Following this, we homogenized the article and ensured all references to the subject were consistent.
