Its so absolutly true!

This article is great and true on the core issue of students learning to write in order to be read.

Its just one thing that I like to adress: The most read articles and most important articles for education is basically after 16 years of editing close to perfect thanks to the massive contributions from wonderful and fact loving Wikimedians across the globe.

This means that students in their urge to learn can edit and improve the marginally less important articles for their studies on Wikipedia as being content contributors rather than learn by editing the existing main articles on main articles like French Revolution, Cell, Heart etc.

However: And here is the main part and urge both to the existing community of Wikimedians and the students of all the World:
WOK; World of Knowledge is a cousin project to Wikipedia creating the MPQs (Multiple Choice Questions) on top of each Wikipedia articles.
WOK is still in the early stages like Wikipedia was in 2002 but the community has already gathered momentum and created over 380000 questions MPQs on top of the Wikipedia articles.

All the educators in the World are welcome to join in and create the questions on top of Wikipedia articles in WOK. Download WikiMaster app in Google Play and AppStore and have a look. WOK is a nonprofit project using the Wikipedia articles with Creative Commons .

The marginal effect in sense of value for the World Education Community of creating good multiple choice questions in WOK is higher than editing a smaller and less vital Wikipedia article. Good questions in order to learn more about the Cold War, the innovations of Thomas Edison or the the Universe Big Bang is of higher value for most students than an entry of a village south of Montevideo or an Botswana football player in the Botswana National Football Team in 1974. This is not to downgrade Wikipedia. Om the contrary: WOK makes Wikipedia more valuable in symbios.

For students to learn; It is very true that they need to create good articles and not just write to the audiance of a teacher, but learn and assign to create Wikipedia articles as the article above show.
My point: With creating good multiple choice questions on a subject is a super good way to deeply learn something and see the rest of the World taking the questions created with notifications is a boost. To learn from others as well as be part of the content contributions is exactly what Wikipedia and WOK is about.
Welcome to WOK, the cousin of Wikipedia . We added fun into learning. In app WikiMaster and WikiFlip.
