J BlackWonderful idea of getting students to post their finished term papers as a Wikipedia entry. That way their term papers become " shared, public online documents" and " have characteristics in common with parts of the academic review process."
Excerpt from article: "The shift to thinking about placing the term paper as a Wikipedia encyclopedia entry allows for another level of peer review," Groom said. Such entries have references and citations; allow for a process of repeated, continual editing; and encourage collaborations between authors.-
At the same time, Groom felt that after her two experiments were over, it was clear that she needed her students to publish to Wikipedia earlier in the process rather than go through their revisions offline, so to speak, before uploading the entry a single time. Doing so would also take better advantage of the collaborative nature of the site itself.

That’s what Martha Groom, a professor at the university’s Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences program, tried to do for the first time last fall by requiring term papers to be submitted to the popular, user-edited online encyclopedia. The project comes at a time when instructors and administrators continue to debate the boundaries of certain technologies within the classroom and how to adapt to students’ existing online habits.
