Is there a college textbook for Ruby?

The Pragmatic Programmer's "Programming Ruby" book is great, but I'm
looking for something that is split up with questions and lessons and
junk like that.

You know how school textbooks are: they explain something, and then ask
you to answer questions and do exercises based on what they just
explained. Is there something like that for Ruby and/or RubyOnRails?

The Ruby Cookbook and Ruby Quiz are sorta like that.

I wouldn't recommed either of those as a primary text; I would perhaps
use them as references (except Ruby Quiz could be fun for homework if
you're evil ;)).

I don't know if there really is anything out there; I've been working
on something in my spare time but I have too many projects on my plate
right now to finish it. My suggestion would be to develop a
curriculum based on either the Pickaxe or Ruby for Rails (Which is
split up a little better IMHO).

Not so much a textbook but Brian Schroeder's website includes the slides
of a summer university level course on the Ruby language. Each section
closes with problems to solve.

Can someone do something regarding this sick creature? Alert
the authorities, perhaps?
