Some of you may be familar with Blurb (if not, it's a FANTASTIC website that let's you create pretty high quality soft and hard cover 4-color printed books. For moderate prices. You can even easily create a book of your blog! OK, maybe you don't want to print up your blog for this class, but if you were doing a travel blog?...)
Of course, I'm not here to help you think of holiday gifts :-) I recently saw a post that says Blurb is in beta with Community Books which allows groups of people to collaborate on books. Intriguing idea! Applications for learning?

This IS exciting! I read the contract (ok, I skimmed some of it), but I was specifically looking for details of copyright. Section 8.1 of the agreement has one potentially sticky clause as follows:
8.1 Your Content. ... and (b) an unrestricted, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, fully-paid and royalty free license (with the right to sublicense through unlimited levels of sublicensees) to publicly display, create derivative works of, and otherwise use in any and all media (now known or later developed) throughout the world any other Content that you post to the Services.
The way I read this is that we give them the right to use our content in any way they choose to. Ok if you don't mind giving up your content, but if you don't, this might not be the vehicle for you.
