Jim Wright, VP of Instruction here at Ohlone College, mentioned Blurb (http://www.blurb.com/) to me recently as a possible tool for faculty who want to publish materials for their courses. I’ve noted it here for future reference.

What is a wiki?

A wiki is a website that allows the visitors themselves to easily add, remove, and otherwise edit and change available content, typically without the need for registration. This ease of interaction and operation makes a wiki an effective tool for mass collaborative authoring.
