As the notes will contain a significant amount of mathematical content, it would be extremely useful to export into LaTeX format for distributing printed copies. As far as I know, the Wiki2LaTeX extension to MediaWiki [1] provides this function. Would it be possible to include this extension into Wikiversity?
This is a list for general Wikimedia development. Decision about project X are mostly taken by project X and you should start discussing them there. For instance, if you want a feature for the German Wikiversity (I assume your content would be in German) a place to start is

Aber moment! ;)
Before asking for a solution be sure you are formulating the right problem. Isn't the PDF export enough to print Wikiversity content appropriately, including mathematical content? You can already write and display mathematical content in Wikiversity and other Wikimedia projects. Anyway, you ill probably get more from the Wikiversity community.

Also note that this extension is (afaik) not deployed in Wikimedia servers. Adding a new extension there is a big deal, so you want to see whether you can solve your problems with the current MediaWiki + extensions deployed in Wikimedia servers.
