I really like the tack you guys are on with the remote teaching idea. I
am not technical enough to get in on that discussion. But, I can
evaluate material and set a sequence of topics as they should be
delivered. And I have hear from one or two people who are adept at
putting material together in a printed format.
If we divide the work as seems what is happening then we can all get
involved and we will have a working model before too long. I am
starting on the course topics and the sequencing now.
