As always, when we are talking about subjects in class, they are invariably in the news...it is always built-in content updates.
Today's Inside Higher Ed has an article on Wikipedia and talks about how some faculty are now building it in to their syllabus to have students improve and create new content on Wikipedia. There is a discussion of how Wikipedia has gone though a changing relationship in the academic world, so this is a chance to take advantage of students' natural urge to use it as a source.
