Wikiversity

Thanks to Leonie for this one. Have a look at Wikiversity , it is a community for the creation and use of free learning materials and activities. Its primary goals are to:

Create and host free content, multimedia learning materials, resources, and curricula for all age groups in all languages
Develop collaborative learning projects and communities around these materials.

And an example of how Butler Library is using wikis on their webpage.
