A course page is the activity hub for an individual class. Course pages serve several purposes:
- Identifying the instructor responsible for the Wikipedia assignment and any other editors who are helping the class (such as Wikipedia Content Experts for Wiki Ed supported courses, or trusted Wikipedia volunteers for others)
- Describing the assignment(s) students are attempting, so that other editors can understand the context of their edits
- Listing all participating students and the articles they are working on
- Providing a discussion and question-and-answer space for students and other editors
- Keeping track of students' editing and discussion activity
