Course Material:
..... Web based [antoniseb/George]
.......... Wiki books (similar to or upgrade these “books”) [Fraser 17/davidlpf 20/Tobin Dax 21]
..... Actual textbook [George]
..... Create a new one [George]
.......... Parcel out the lesson creations [Kelfazin 19]
….. CGI [Argos 24]
I favor the Wiki books idea at this point. The development done here would greatly contribute there. However, this would be a fair amount of work. Yet, many of us will likely get involved. The instructor might serve more as an organizer and editor, perhaps.

So in this setup there are multiple contributors and one instructor? Since the lessons would not be derived from an existing textbook, if the contributors had a disagreement, the instructor would step in and provide the "official" answer? I guess I'm a little confused, could you walk through the steps this kind of lesson would take?
And just for edification, I don't think the instructors should create a new textbook, just a curriculum, similar to school teachers use an existing book to create a lesson plan. ie: read the chapter, have a lecture on that chapter, then have a question answer period about the lecture/chapter, which would actually fit with any of the above course material concepts
