Neat combination of ebook w/inquiry-based learning.

" In this course the students do not have a textbook; in fact, they are forbidden from using outside sources at any time. Instead, they are given the skeleton of a textbook. It has definitions, statements of theorems, some explanatory text, and some problems. They must prove the theorems, solve the problems, and type their work into the empty textbook. By the end of the semester they have created their own textbook."

Great example of collaborative knowledge creation! It would be interesting to replicate in other disciplines or do a seminar with others taking similar approach.
