The Assignment Design Wizard is a tool built by Wiki Education Foundation to help instructors create Wikipedia classroom assignments that follow best practices. (It serves as a replacement for {{course page wizard}} and similar templates, which don't offer much opportunity for customizing the standard syllabus boilerplate or reshuffling the course timeline.)

The main way to reach the wizard is to complete the WP:EDUCATORS training. At the end, users can launch the Assignment Design Wizard, which walks them through the components of a good Wikipedia assignment and lets them choose options for their class. At the end, the wizard posts a draft course page to their userspace.
