Resumen:
Sumario:This article presents a comparative view of efforts and results that have been accomplished by the Wikipedia Education Program working with higher education institutions. Following the idea that “Wikipedia belongs to education”, teachers from all over the world have become interested in including Wikipedia in their courses. This paper analyses experiences and lessons from Wikimedia Argentina and Wikimedia Mexico, both chapters working with higher education institutions, in order to found similar challenges and solutions in the implementation of Wikipedia projects in academic spaces, also in the context of the Initiative for Regional Cooperation for Ibero-America (Iberocoop) that has proposed the creation of a chapter in the region, fostering collaboration and exchange of experiences.
