Wiki instead of textbook?

Hi all,

I've been watching your posts here with great interest. Sounds like you all are planning some interesting projects for the upcoming semester.

Let me join in by pointing you to a Computerworld article about a professor at Boston College (my alma mater.) This fellow has been using a wiki as the "primary teaching tool" in his classroom since October.

Do you think abandoning a text book in favor of a wiki is too radical an approach, or perhaps worth a try?

(BTW - I found this article from the rss feed of the Chronicle of Higher Education's Wired Campus blog.)
