26. I
would
not
have
bought
the
text
book
for
this
course
because
it's
an
elective.
I
would
have
possibly
walked
away
with
a
C,
now
I
might
actually
get
an
A-­‐
It
is
easily
accessible
and
convenient.
Material
is
easy
to
understand
and
follow
I
personally
really
like
the
convenience
of
having
the
complete
set
of
chapters
on
my
computer
and
even
accessible
from
my
phone
if
I
need
it.
I
like
that
I
don't
have
to
lug
around
another
text
book
It's
free
and
it's
a
great
money
saver

48. “The students also realized they were a valuable asset toWikipedia.
Their thinking and writing skills as well as their access to an
extensive academic library were not broadly shared.
As knowledge translators,they could also provide a
service to the general public by clearly communicating basic
concepts about language acquisition.They wondered who their
readers might be:parents? teachers? students in developing countries?
One thing that the students uniformly loved about this project
was the possibility of other people seeing and recognizing
their work.” (Marentette, 2014, p. 37).

49. “They felt their work was meaningful because their
contributions are shared with the entire world,rather than just their
instructor.They liked that their contributions will not end up in a
drawer after the semester ends,but will continue to be available to
many people as a useful resource.
Some students even noted with pride that their contributions
might have wider use than some articles published in academic
journals.” (Ibrahim, 2012, p. 29)
