Activities, assignments and assessment/Collaboratively write a Wikibook

< Activities, assignments and assessment

There are other significant public information projects running along side Wikipedia. Wikibooks for example, strives to create free and open textbooks. Consider replacing your essay assignment with writing a chapter to a Wikibook. Take your expensive textbook, devise an improved table of chapters, and ask participants to select a chapter as their assignment. Watch the free and open textbook emerge, and each year ask the new participants to expand or improve on the previous year's efforts. Printing a book out of Wikibooks via PediaPress is especially rewarding.

James Neill describes the assignment he set his undergraduate psychology students in 2010 - to write a book on Motivation and emotion. Copy of video on Youtube.
