From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

[edit] Who is Provophys?

My name is Kevin and I taught a physiology class to a group of bright future nurses in Provo, Utah in 2006. We created the first online physiology book for Wikibooks! I was new to editing wikis, as were my students, but I guess that is what makes wikis so great -- we can all participate, regardless of our level. Beginning in Feb 2007 I taught yet another group of bright future nurses and this time we improved upon the existing book with the goal of making it the BEST introductory physiology textbook.

Making a textbook was a bit overwhelming, so I switched to using wikis that were a bit easier. Using Wetpaint, my students and I have created a Physiwiki site (fall 2007), a Microbiowiki site (spring 2008), and an Anatowiki site (summer 2008).

If you have any suggestions or questions, please leave feedback on my discussion page or send me an email (kevin.young@usu.edu). I welcome any participation in the Human Physiology book and believe that the more people use it and edit it, the better it will become. Provophys (talk)
