This idea has me pretty excited: what about students filming or audio
recording lectures and uploading them as supplementary material for
textbooks? The audio/video material will itself not be immediately wiki-able
but could be available on the site for reference and future editing. Anyone
out there know of intellectual property questions? Is there any problem
taping a lecture and uploading it? Does it depend on whether the
teacher/prof gives permission, or the school, or what?
My mind is positively busting with the possibilities of science lectures
available on wikibooks. Some people learn best by reading, others by
listening, others by seeing ... If we can get audio or video of lectures
online that will be like having a downloadable classroom, where you can get
all of the classroom experience except the immediate opportunity to ask
questions.
