Hello Pete, thanks for your response. In effect, I am thinking about a blend of in-person as well as virtual events (pre and post-activity). Your reference is more than welcomed, as mediawiki seems to be my strong option, reusing interesting templates fro Wikieducator ( http://wikieducator.org/Quickstart_guide/Pedagogical_templates). The only experience I have with open textbooks was building three of them in Wikibooks. Best wishes!!
