Hi Shlomi,

You might consider developing some lesson plans or placing your slide 
presentations into the public commons under an FDL at an appropriate 
location in Wikiversity.    http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikiversity

We do not have formal approval to proceed yet but an administrator at 
Wikibooks (Robert Horning) has articulated an excellent plan to 
duplicate the Wikibooks wiki at the en.wikiversity.org domain and then 
delete or modify inappropriate materials and link structures in both 
wikis to minimize rework once we have authority from the Wikimedia 
Foundation Board to proceed with Wikiversity on Wikimedia Foundation 
infrastructure.
