I just want to say that I have been participating in this program for
the past five years for my smaller, upper-level courses. Students
generate a new Wikipedia page or make major improvements to an existing
one instead of writing a term paper. The training modules and support
offered by the Wikiedu people are excellent. Students become qualified
Wikipedia editors and also have something they can add to their CVs.
Most all of them actually enjoy the assignment even though it is
generally more work than a term paper.
