Talk:Contemporary Educational Psychology

All basic writing is now posted for all chapters of this book. However I still see these problems:
 * Initial sections of some chapters are too long and should therefore be split up, shortened, and/or moved into separate pages of their own. The intro to each chapter should be kept very short so that the Table of Contents will display easily "above the fold" (so to speak)--i.e. on one average computer screen.
 * The initial anecdotes and stories may need to be deleted or placed elsewhere. I'm not sure they belong in a Wikibook. Maybe move them to Wikisource or Wikiuniversity? Since they are a bit more literary in style, and therefore perhaps cannot be edited in the same way as more expository material without doing violence to their intent? I'm not sure about this.
 * Various links of all sorts need to be added. They include tables and figures, but also links between chapters and sections, and perhaps also with Wikipedia and other external sources.

Readers of the book may, of course, see additional or different problems. Any comments or concerns are therefore welcome. You can put them either here or on my talk page.

What I'm looking for is a useful textbook, which this is not yet. Basically I see it as this: 1. Get the style sheets right. I tried a couple of pages and they looked ... not very good. That is a very simple task. 2. A muddle of pages is not very useful. Provide a way to download the whole book (from title page, to contents, through the chapters one by one.) You know, like a book 3. If you want to put links in, they should not interrupt the text and should be some color other than blue.

I realise that these are primarily software modifications, but it is largely a matter of simplification, not of adding increasingly many options and complexities.
