Though I wish I could say "No Problem!", I'm afraid I can't say that. The incompatibility of the two licenses might be fixed someday, but for now they're incompatible (as far as I know... I'm not a lawyer). I would be interested to see what they had to say... please email it to me.

You also might want to bring this up on textbook-l, our mailing list. -- SB_Johnny | talk 21:48, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

New student-written text about educational psychology?
Dear Dwight,

I teach educational psychology at the University of Manitoba, and I am thinking about creating a student-written textbook about educational psychology. It would be reminiscent of your Wikibook about the social and cultural foundations of education.

I've read most of the behind-the-scenes advice that I could find about doing this (including your course syllabus for ECI 301, and the discussion pages for your Wikibook). My overall impression is that I should be able to do something along these lines, but it will have to be more modest, at least at the beginning. The reasons are that I have only about 70-75 students per year, only a handful of graduate students, and no grant to support this project at the moment. Nonetheless I would like to see what can be done.

I believe that you may have published an article or two about your experiences and/or assessment of the course, but I haven't been able to locate them. Can you point me in the right direction, and/or send me appropriate reprints (electronically is fine)? Any advice, ideas, or cautions would also be most welcome.

Thanks, Kelvin Seifert Faculty of Education University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada email: seifert@cc.umanitoba.ca
