In 2018, a new course was launched at Tel Aviv University -- the first, for-credit, elective course featuring Wikidata. This session will explore the accumulated experience from 3 iterations of the course. It will also highlight other examples of using Wikidata for educational purposes globally, as they emerged in a PhD research that focuses on Wikidata's potential as a learning platform. Following the presentation, a live discussion will focus on the implications of the existing example to a wider educational perspective, what could be learned from them, and what are some of the challenges and opportunities in the CEE context.
