Pros and cons of Wikified Research Paper

Pros and cons of Wikified Research Paper
http://arapahoe.littletonpublicschools.net/Portals/7/Language%20Arts/Smith/Wikified%20Research%20Paper.doc

Pros:
The learner will be able to use the newest technology to prove a point.
Learners will have a clear plan of how to create this thesis paper.
Learners will not be constrained by the traditional printed research paper.
Learners are directed how to save the outside resources
Learners are given clear instructions of how to evaluate their own paper (using a higher level of learning)


Cons:
Learners may feel that this has many time consuming steps leading to a large time constraint
Student could easily create papers that lack individuality due to the level of detail in the directions. The facilitator will need to take prior steps to ensuring learners will have individually.
Facilitators will need to evaluate at a higher level because the description is so detailed. (Ok maybe this could be a pro)
