“The students also realized they were a valuable
asset to Wikipedia. Their thinking and writing
skills as well as their access to an extensive
academic library were not broadly shared.
As knowledge translators, they could also
provide a service to the general public by

language acquisition. They wondered who their
readers might be: parents? teachers? students in
developing countries?
One thing that the students uniformly loved
about this project was the possibility of other
“They felt their work was meaningful because
their contributions are shared with the entire
world, rather than just their instructor. They liked
that their contributions will not end up in a drawer
after the semester ends, but will continue to be
available to many people as a useful resource.
Some students even noted with pride that their
contributions might have wider use than some
articles published in academic journals.”
