An example of how Wikipedia is being used as an assignment in the classroom.

Even more interesting if you scroll down to the comments for this article you find a post from Larry Sanger (I’ve mentioned Citizendium before but not seen anything up until this point on Eduzendium)

“The Citizendium project has started a pilot project that encourages professors to assign work on Citizendium articles to their students. See http://www.eduzendium.org/

This is a better locale because (1) we have many, many open topics that Wikipedia does not, and (2) our community is led by experts and generally saner and friendlier.
