Talk:Using Wikibooks/Contributing To An Existing Wikibook

Hi, I am exploring, if wiki-books can have dynamic content. I see two potential users of wikibooks

a. People who would use this offline, or probably pick content and create a new book

b. People who would use the book online.

Since every "Textbook" is in general expected to have graded exercises, I wanted to know if it would be possible to introduce things like fill-in-blanks, match-the-following, True/False sort of small exercises for which the results could be graded instantly.

Also, in addition to the book, a forum for students to discuss would be great. Not all students have same level of understanding. So, there is need to put some side-notes for things where there could be need for further elaboration based on student level.

The whole intent is that now there are many books in public domain. But the information is not structured. Example, If I want to study medicine, I should be having basics of biology. So for every book there is a pre-requisite and expectations post-completion. Having method by which a student can take a course by himself and determine if he is suited for certain book would be a great asset.
