Wikipedia?Created by William J. Allen (Arkansas State University) on January 5, 2007
I appreciate the comments on my last post. In terms of student privacy I already include in my syllabus a statement that the other students in the class will see student posts in the Bb discussion board and I suggest that if a student is uncomfortable with that circumstance that they should withdraw from the class (nobody ever has). In terms of legalities, I wonder if an obvious answer is to simply use Wikipedia as the class site. I start an article and show the students how to add, edit, etc. Would the legal onus then fall on Wikipedia and not on me?

I presume you've read about some of the other existing projects in Wikipedia. If not, that's probably a really good starting point to see what others have done, what they're doing, and how they've dealt with the potential issues.
I was unaware of the link. I will follow it and see what I find. Thanks.
Wikipedia has strict rules about content. They're aiming to build an encyclopedia, and any pages which are not encyclopedic are subject to removal.
