[edutex] TeX teaching

[Stitz,Tammy A]

Hi Boris:

I have taught LaTeX online as a non-credit course. I created a PDF outline, which is similar to a syllabus. It is on our Learning Management System. If you are interested in looking at it, I can request a log in for you tomorrow. Please let me know.

Best Regards,
Tammy Stitz

Dear friends at EduTeX

I've just had a nice talk with Jennifer and Dennis Claudio at a Palo Alto cafe (I am moving to this area due to a change of my job).  The ideas below are mostly theirs (modulo my mistakes and misunderstanding).

Is it possible for us to create

1.  A sample syllabus for teaching TeX (LaTeX OR ConTeXt).

2.  An online instructor certification program, where anybody can get
    a paper that a person have studied the syllabus, passed the test
    and can teach TeX herself.


The certification should be free (or deeply discounted) for school teachers, probably modestly priced for everybody else, with any proceedings benefitting TUG and TeX education fund.

Are there people on this list interested in this activity?

Good luck
