[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 442384, member: 3907"] Susie, it sounds like it might be a promising idea. Just putting on my "career development" hat for a moment, are you thinking of your husband doing this as a hobby or as an income generator. There are possibilities in either direction, but it really depends on what you're looking for. If it's something that you think local kids would be interested in and your husband wants to do it for a lark, then offering it as a volunteer course at your local library / community centre / other place where people gather would be good. If on the other hand, you're looking at it as a source of income and/or career development, then putting together a college-class-style syllabus might be the better route to go. Years ago I used to teach classes at one of the universities in my city. They were non-degree, continuing studies courses, mainly professional development for people in the workforce. Several of the other instructors were able to get semi-permanent Lecturer positions at that and the other universities in town because of those courses. (It wasn't a path I wanted to follow so I didn't go that route.) I'm just thinking that if your husband already has talent and experience with teaching in a university environment, this is a great opportunity to put together a new course offering for the local college or university's computer science program, either for degree-level students or continuing studies. In short, YES, it's definitely viable. Feel free to PM me if you want further information. Trinity [/QUOTE]
