^Wikipe-tan, the anime/moe anthropromorphism (TVTropes) of Wikipedia
To begin with, what is Wikipedia (in my own words)? (try to use imagery rather than just give a blunt answer)

Comparing Wikipedia and TAFE workbooks as learning resources
| PROS - What is Wikipedia great for, and in what ways does it surpass TAFE? ✅ | CONS - Are there any downsides or disadvantages of solely relying on Wikipedia? ❌ |
|---|---|
| ✅ Wikipedia can clarify or concepts that the TAFE workbooks fail to properly explain | ❌ Wikipedia is usually one way deliver of knowledge = No interaction between student and resources (e.g., quizzes, assessments) = Limited means of developing or assessing competency |
| ✅ Reading wiki articles on library-related topics can build background knowledge in a self-paced manner | ❌ Can’t make a portfolio of work (for job assessments or otherwise) just from reading wikipedia articles |
| ✅ Since articles are linked to one another and well-organised, it’s easy to see how different terms and concepts relate to one another | ❌ Wikipedia can lack adequate detail about the library industry in Australia, which the library courses are focused on |
| ✅ Most wikipedia pages provide citations to reference sources and external links to a variety of resources such as websites, books, journal articles, etc. | |
| The TAFE workbooks often fail to include anything other than websites in their reference lists 😠 | ❌ Wikipedia may often lack the exact information that is needed for assessments, which is often contained in the internally-published TAFE workbooks (i.e., assessment are based around the workbooks) |
