**Using Wikipedia to Reenvision the Term Paper**

Washington Bothell

_Abstract_
To enhance the learning experience of a term paper, students were
required to publish their papers in Wikipedia. Publishing for a large
audience provided authentic feedback and encouraged students to do their
best work. Using Wikipedia also allowed students to connect with a
vibrant community and share their knowledge by making their papers
publicly accessible.
