Hi! I'm the content expert for your course and your professor wanted me to give you some feedback. Here are my notes:

I never honestly thought about using tables in the way you have here - it's actually a pretty good idea, to be honest. The main thing to make sure of when using tables, figures, or images, is that you explain them well since ultimately Wikipedia's articles should be layperson accessible. Other than that, way to go with thinking outside the box!
Make sure that when you're discussing people in an article, that you give their first and last name when they are first mentioned in an article. I've added the full names for the writers to the article. Part of this is for clarity (especially in the case of authors with common last names), but it should also be done so that you can link to their articles if they have them.
Be careful to avoid writing articles like an academic paper. In academic papers you can draw your own conclusions, but with encyclopedia articles we can only state conclusions that were drawn by authorities that have published their work in reliable sources. The only part of this that really stood out was this sentence: "While these conversations are helpful in identifying students in need of remediation, they do little in the way to improve instruction in the long run." My recommendation would be to change this slightly to reflect on the fact that these are the conclusions that the authors drew from their research.
