Appropedia Assignment

The purpose of this assignment is to better understand the role that "new media" plays in mass communication and explore the relationship between "new media" and society. In completing this service-learning assignment you will assist in fulfilling the mission of HSU ("Humboldt State University will be the campus of choice for individuals who seek above all else to improve the human condition and our environment… We will be renowned for social and environmental responsibility and action.") by employing your journalistic skills for the greater good and publishing your own work on an international forum. The platform we will be using for this assignment is appropedia.org, a locally founded non-profit organization with global reach.

You will:

  • Work with a group of 2-3 people
  • Choose a topic that interests your group. The topic must be original, as well as relevant and applicable to Appropedia’s mission. Your topic could be a specific project, a profile of a relevant organization, an overview of a city/region that excels in some area of sustainable development or green living, a profile of a city/region that has a specific issue relating to sustainability, etc. (see topics below for more information and examples)
  • Research this topic and compose a 500-800 word wiki article
  • Create a user profile and post your article to www.appropedia.org (see instructions below)
  • Make your page appear palatable and appealing with proper headings, photos, layout, etc. Be sure to caption your images and only use those that you have permission to publish (see Help:Images for info on uploading images)
