I'm interested in hearing experienced educators' and researchers' thoughts about what roles Wikipedia, and Internet-based learning in general, can and can't do well.

Articles for consideration:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2015/06/04/technology-wont-fix-americas-neediest-schools-it-makes-bad-education-worse/

What does Wikipedia education do well, and what doesn't it do well?

Is Wikipedia-based education amplifying the learning of students who are likely to be from highly resourced schools?

Do we have evidence that Wikipedia based education has outcomes for students that are similar to, or better than, other kinds of online learning?

How can we offer a service that is widely beneficial for students and teachers with limited technological resources? Or should we not try because of the additional challenges?

Thanks,

Pine
