a computer program like an
AI Eliza program generates a test on the
material at wikipedia
then puts the test right at the article
This gives people an opportunity to
practice n retain what they read
they could accumulate a proof of the
articles visited
then share that with teachers
autogenerated
quizzes make Wikipedia
superior to
Britanicca at least until Britanicca creates
the same feature
Note: rewrite of a previous item
Youtube version at link

It doesn't need to be automatic. Wikipedia has enough nerds to write the quizzes themselves, all they'd have to do is start a "Quiz Wikiproject" complete with banners that say "This is part of the Quiz Wikiproject" or "This page does not have a quiz. Why don't you create one?" |

they could also expand it to the halfbakery [+] |

I'ld bun this except 1) writing AI code to *understand* text and then extract enough meaning from it to ask a meaningful question that couldn't just be answered by cut & paste is actually an interesting problem (on the Computer Science scale of trivial..interesting); and
2) I'm not bunning anyone who mis-spells Britannica twice in one article. And by twice I mean in two different ways, so it's not as if you didn't realise that you didn't know how to spell the word. |

Treon, I am pretty sure one of you has posted this before. |

Wikipedia is not a valid source of factual information, Britanica is. |

A good idea if you have to pass the quiz -- i.e., you have to have read the existing entry -- before modifying it. |
