Re: Wikibooks and/or CK12 Flexbooks

I was browsing Creative Commons education section yesterday and you might
find it helpful if you haven't seen it: http://creativecommons.org/education.
Also, this site was recently brought to my attention; apparently it was all
the buzz at SXSW. Clayton Christensen of Disrupting Class fame seems to be
involved: http://www.bloomfire.com/

I'm curious about other resources people have found...
