As for grading, I've promised to put up what I've done for students and
hope to get to it soon. The quick summary (for my journalism students)
-- edits from the Wikipedia community are welcome, encouraged and part
of the experience. Experiencing 'participatory journalism' is part of
the reason for doing things on Wikipedia.
As for grading, the entire article is graded, and all folks assigned
that aritcle are given the same grade. They sink or swim together.
Severe slackers will get individual deductions, but otherwise, its in
each student's interests to keep working at the article and help each
other. Doing individual grades would indeed change the Wiki dynamic.

something like:
* we welcome it! :)
* make sure your students understand NPOV
* and so on
(en:)
I have one main concern about that, even if the idea is
great :) Since
grades will be given partly for the language, the
contents & such,
what happens if someone outside the students fixes typos,
links, adds
things? This, arguably, is the teacher's
trouble to sort
out. But what
if the teacher asks 'ok, could non-students
please do not
change this
page during the ''examen'' ?'
? What should we reply? It
obviously is
against Wikipedia's very nature to
'lock' (morally, at least :)) a
page.
User contributions combined with page history for each
student will return the work they did. No need for anyone
else to change what they ordinarily do.

J'ai une seule crainte, à ce propos, même si l'idée est
super :) Les
notes étant attribuées (sans doute) en fonction
du langage, du
contenu, etc, que se passera-t-il si quelqu'un qui n'est
pas un de ces
étudiants change la page, en corrigeant des
fautes, des
liens, etc ?
C'est évidemment le problème du professeur.
Mais que répondre s'il
nous demande 'bon, que les non-étudiants ne touchent pas à
ces pages
le temps de l'examen' ? C'est
totalement contre la nature
de Wikipédia
de 'bloquer' une page (même moralement
:))
