**Using Wikipedia to Reenvision the Term Paper**

_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.
