Received an email about changes to Bookpress that made me wonder what happened to Anthologize.
If you have never used Anthologize it is a WordPress plugin that allows you to create electronic books in several formats from WordPress blog content. One nice thing about is that you can also create the content via RSS feeds. So if you have a number of classes working on a similar project you can use tag or category based RSS feeds to bring their blog posts together to create a book.
In the slidedeck below I installed the plugin then created a new project. In anthologize you create a part then you can select blog posts and add them to the document.

When you are ready you can export the blog posts in a variety of formats.
