Education/Collaboratively generated educational material

Educational material contributed and edited collaboratively, constantly evolving and increasing in both quantity and quality, similar to the evolution of the famous wikipedia .

Material free for anyone, teachers or students, to use and customise for their own purposes. It is very early days, but this is very much under way already.
