DIY Textbooks Online!

I have been thinking about "compiling" my own textbook for my classes so things are more user-friendly for both my students and myself. I found this website that I plan to do more looking into - some of you might find it interesting as well...

http://www.academicpub.com/

I haven't done a lot of research on it yet, but some comments say this site allows you to build a custom textbook using your own material and/or publisher content. It is free for faculty and the student can get the finished book in print or eBook format

Some other places that were mentioned along with this site were:

The Learning Mag (www.thelearningmag.com)
Gooru (www.goorulearning.org)
My Big Campus  www.mybigcampus.com
Iversity www.iversity.org

Not sure how many of the above links are free -- but what a great place to start compiling your own information to a textbook that is created for your class!
