A handful of University of Alberta classes have introduced Wikipedia to their classrooms as a teaching resource this past semester, despite criticisms about the website’s credibility in educational institutions.

Professors use the website by replacing traditional writing or research assignments with students writing Wikipedia articles or improving pre-existing pages.
