At first, this newsgroup (alt.uu.future) will be a group for the planning of the Usenet University, a society of people interested in learning, teaching, tutoring - and doing other things done in universities - via Usenet. First things to discuss will be what kinds of newsgroups will be created. ---------------------------------------- From: esz001@cck.coventry.ac.uk (Will Overington) Newsgroups: alt.uu.future,alt.education.distance Subject: Motions (follows from Re: Usenet University 28 more newgroups?)

This does not in any way imply that I am volunteering to run an archive site for this group (at least not until I have several machines freed up), but does serve to support my claim of a large number of posts that what you have seen. ---------------------------------------- From: esz001@cck.coventry.ac.uk (Will Overington) Newsgroups: alt.uu.future,alt.education.distance Subject: MOTION Course on Russian, in English, with Esperanto mentions. Message-ID: Date: 20 Jul 92 14:07:13 GMT Organization: Coventry University, Coventry, UK 20th July 1992 MOTION Course on Russian, in English, with Esperanto mentions. I put forward the motion that we should seek to create a course on learning Russian, for beginners, with the instruction being in English. The course will use Esperanto, with its regularity and logical structure as an aid by comparing and contrasting it with Russian, which like many (all?) natural languages has irregularities. This course should appeal to people who have found that the learning of Esperanto, even but a little Esperanto, has increased their knowledge of how grammatical structures work in a language. [ .. ] Also, if you would like to help create the course, or would like to take the completed course, please say so. I am willing to participate in creating this course. ---------------------------------------- From: mccla_d@oswine.cs.odu.edu (dennis mcclain-furmanski) Subject: RE: Usenet University Message-ID: Organization: Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA, USA Distribution: alt.uu.future Date: Sat, 13 Jun 1992 00:23:45 GMT Outstanding idea!

Message-ID: Date: Sun, 19 Jul 1992 01:42:33 GMT There's this odd little project developing over on alt.uu.future... the idea is to try and organize a "Usenet University", a way of taking courses over the net. There's been a little bit of discussion about the possibility of doing something like a course in Elisp. Anyone out there have an interest in trying to teach it? Have anything that might be useful as course materials? Any desire to take such a course? Sounds like you want a form a newsgroup. You start out with your charter, and you establish that students are encouraged to tutor later newcomers. Basically, gnu.emacs.lisp.help, with a decent charter. I know I'd throw in some of my time for this, occasionally... ---------------------------------------- Newsgroups: alt.uu.future From: doom@leland.Stanford.EDU (Joseph Brenner) Subject: Looking for (and finding!) potential Elisp teachers Message-ID: <1992Jul18.113617.4677@leland.Stanford.EDU> Date: Sat, 18 Jul 92 11:36:17 GMT But most intriguingly, one person has actually volunteered to *teach*!
