With all the inquiries coming as a result of Evelyn's original email it
would seem that college course materials would be a good topic for our
annual forum in
Washington, DC.  I would be willing to bring the materials I have developed
over 20 years of teaching a basic course (I must admit I'm too lazy to make
multiple
copies to send to dozens of interested technicians).  I would also be
willing to mail my materials to someone who would volunteer to act as a
gatherer of course
information and resources and bring all that information to the convention
for discussion.  Those attending could look at all the information and
compare and
contrast the various approaches.  I'm not sure who's in charge of the CAUT
forum or if the topics have been decided.  Just a thought.
