Precisely. There's a little bit more to it than this - there's certainly the potential for things like class discussions (though IRC, perhaps), as well, and actually taking some form of organised course, rather than *just* teaching yourself out of a textbook. Though, as I've been saying all along, it would also benefit those people too - by actually creating the textbooks they could then work from.

After a futher look around wikiversity (something i probably should have done before opening my big mouth), i think that the crucial difference between wikiversity and wikibooks is that wikiversity has feedback. I think that the idea behind the example module http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Translation_practice_course is a great one. (simplified, the idea is that you translate a page from the spanish wikipedia into the english wikipedia, and then people provide peer review of you traslation, i guess you just archive the old translations and comments...).

paz e amor,
