Forget the term paper: These students write Wikipedia articles for class credit. Most self-respecting graduate students are loath to admit how often they use Wikipedia.
That may change, however, if more teachers start following the lead of professor Gunseli Berik’s class at the University of Utah. In lieu of a term paper, her students are writing articles for the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. The goal is to fill in Wikipedia’s knowledge gaps and also to provide some balance for the site’s well-publicized gender disparity problem. "They had to identify gaps on Wikipedia," Berik, an economics professor, told KSL. "So either an article is inadequate, there's limited information or there's no article on the subject that they're interested in. It’s tempting to laugh off Berik’s idea. "It's not going to end up in the dust bin at the end of the semester, or in a drawer,” Berik told KSL.
Berik first ran the experiment last spring. Photo via KSL. Pressed to bridge the skills gap, colleges and corporations try to get along.

Then Gavidia was accepted to a program in which an IT-services company called Atrion collaborates with the Community College of Rhode Island to help students get both a classroom education and on-the-job training. The model, under which Gavidia worked as an apprentice at the company while taking on-campus courses, gave him a huge head start to a job by teaching him the real-world skills employers want but say they often can’t find in college graduates.
