Welcoming Wikipedia in the Classroom

From the mailbag: A reader brings to my attention the Wiki Education Foundation.

Tagline: Inspiring Learning. Enriching Wikipedia.

Mission: Connecting higher education to the publishing power of Wikipedia. Bridging Wikipedia and academia creates opportunities for any learner to contribute to, and access, open knowledge.

Example 2: "Why Wikipedia Assignments Work for Digital Literacy."
