I am currently studying the literary (as well a the film) genre of Science Fiction, More specifically the Invasion of the body snatchers. Naturally, WIKIpedia has quite a good selection of sources to browse through. If I were to introduce the subject of Science Fiction to a classroom I think Wiki would be good starting point. Its quite broad and covers briefly what the SF genre entails, not to mention links to very famous historical SF pieces (wkipedia 2009).
If I were to teach a class, or instruct students on anything SF related, I would use Wiki as sound jumping off point to other avenue of research. However, I would be hesitant to use it directly as a source. Wiki is gaining credibility as a solid source of factual information(Aldred 2009), but I still receive skepticism whenever I mention it to friends or family.
Here is my list of Wiki pages about Science Fiction:
