This hyper textbook project is a team effort led by the University of California at Davis with participation by Sonoma State University, Diablo Valley College, Contra Costa Community College, Hope College, and University of Minnesota at Morris. The partnership is developing, delivering and expanding transformative content for chemistry education within a single, integrated online resource known as The ChemWiki. The ChemWiki is organized around a collaborative approach to chemistry education where an Open Access textbook is constantly being written and re-written, partly by students and partly by faculty, resulting in a no-fee, high-quality textbook, accessible anytime, anywhere, by anyone with internet access. The ChemWiki is enabling Wikitexts to be created by individual faculty by ordering modular content in a way that is meeting localized needs, and is allowing other Core Modules to be modified via an embedded graphical editor, and then incorporated into the Wikitext. The ever growing list of Wikitexts is available for anyone to peruse, adapt and adopt as needs dictate. The ChemWiki is incorporating a separate application, the 'Student Ability Rating and Inquiry System' (SARIS) that is addressing the need for student practice, by incorporating an extensive question database augmented with links to the ChemWiki core material. SARIS is providing quiz and homework questions, drawn from a deep pool, and is providing students with immediate formative feedback designed to enhance their problem-solving skills.The ChemWiki is enabling student participatory learning by engaging them in the content construction. The nature of The ChemWiki modular concept is permitting content to be used and re-used in multiple courses at multiple levels. The open and dynamic nature of The ChemiWiki is allowing both straightforward error correction and timely content with near instantaneous modification possible for state-of-the-art material. The multiple author construction approach is enhancing usage flexibility by the very nature of the breadth of strategies employed. Finally, the inter-institutional development scheme is leading to a product of distinct value across a broad swath of institutions of higher education.

这个超级教科书项目由加州大学戴维斯分校领导，索诺马州立大学、暗黑破坏神山谷学院、康特拉科斯塔社区学院、希望学院和明尼苏达大学莫里斯分校参与。该合作伙伴关系正在开发、提供和扩大化学教育的变革性内容，在一个名为ChemWiki的单一、综合的在线资源中。ChemWiki是围绕化学教育的一种合作方法组织的，其中开放获取教科书不断地被编写和重写，部分由学生，部分由教师编写，结果是一本免费、高质量的教科书，任何人都可以随时随地访问。ChemWiki使个别教员能够通过以满足本地化需求的方式订购模块化内容来创建Wikitext，并允许通过嵌入式图形编辑器修改其他核心模块，然后将其合并到Wikitext中。任何人都可以根据需要阅读、改编和采用不断增加的Wikitexts列表。ChemWiki正在纳入一个单独的应用程序--“学生能力评级和调查系统”(SARIS)，该系统通过纳入一个广泛的问题数据库并增加到ChemWiki核心材料的链接来满足学生练习的需要。SARIS正在提供从深水池中抽取的测验和家庭作业问题，并为学生提供即时的形成性反馈，旨在提高他们解决问题的技能。ChemWiki通过让学生参与内容建设，使他们能够参与学习。ChemWiki模块化概念的本质是允许在多个级别的多门课程中使用和重复使用内容。ChemiWiki的开放和动态的本质是允许直接的纠错和及时的内容，几乎可以对最先进的材料进行即时修改。多作者构建方法正在通过所采用的策略的广度的性质来增强使用灵活性。最后，机构间发展计划正在产生一种广泛的高等教育机构具有独特价值的产品。
