I teach a computer science course at a university, and I was considering creating a class assignment centered around contributing to Stack Overflow. Students would create accounts on Stack Overflow and write questions, answers, or edits. They would then show evidence of their contributions for me to grade.

Would this assignment be an acceptable use of Stack Overflow?
