Jumping the gun on its viability (it’s just a matter of time), I would like to know the best practices/procedures/methods they employ in creating those courses.

In the Google 10tothe100 project, I suggested the same idea. Imagine if this is replicated and spread – with an “open-source”/creative commons 3.0 frame of mind – the benefits would be enormous! And if they can run on low-end computers – we can put a lot of “trash” to good use.

Am applauding Thomas Edison State College efforts and wish them success. May they also share their experience in expertise for mankind’s benefit.
