I've been wondering about this issue as well, especially since I won't be using a traditional textbook. I had been planning to use something like the powerpoints Lori mentioned. But one idea I'm kicking around is using a wiki and having the students 'create' the notes themselves. Has anyone done anything like that? Even if you haven't, do you think it would work?
