The Wikipedia Public Policy Initiative: Exploring the Potential Benefits of Using Wikipedia in the University Classroom as a Tool for Innovative E-Pedagogy

The Wikipedia Public Policy Initiative was a successful e-learning pilot project that promoted collaboration between policy classes at U.S. universities and the Wikipedia online social network. Incentives for participation included new media literacy development, collaborative learning and engagement in a growing wiki-culture. The expanded Global Education Program now will connect the initiative to classes in Brazil, Canada and India.
