WikiTextbook

Steve Margetts, Mar 09, 2005

Ian Grove-Stephensen of Chalkface sent me this link to WikiTextbook, a natural evolution of the wiki concept, this time to produce textbooks. According to the site, "we are currently working on 167 articles." Ian writes, "Steve's twist is that he encourages his pupils - and by extension all pupils - to write their own textbook. He's gambling that the peer review principle will keep it accurate and relevant even when used by the most difficult age-group possible." Chalkface is providing server space and bandwidth for WikiTextbook - kudos.
