on a related topic, the *Connexions* project: http://cnx.org/ has some free course-ware that might be of interest, [especially] if you are on a limited budget. quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connexions : << "*Connexions* is a global repository of educational content that can be adapted and updated by new authors. [...] the whole collection is available free of charge, and students and learners can explore all the content. Connexions is pioneering, along with other projects such as MIT OpenCourseWare and the Public Library of Science , the idea of open educational resources — that scholarly and educational content can and should be shared, re-used and recombined, interconnected and continually enriched." >> Hey, cool! if there is any "gap" or problem with the quality, you can suggest an improvement! since it is [to be] "continually enriched"...!
