I would expect to be capable of handling a college sophmore or junior level course. A lesser level would still interest me but would be less enjoyable.
There are likely some great benefits to doing a course here. Asking questions here are much easier than in a real classroom, as well as, answering them when more time and thought is allowed. As for graphics, as one Apple IIG salesman once said about his computer, there are "limitless capabilities" here.
I would be glad to assist any teacher.
Some other questions to ponder....
1) Will this class be all on one thread, or a thread per chapter, or what?
2) What ways can tests be done? Is annoymity - like we don't have it already
- desired or do we post test results? [The only course I ever had that posted my grades on the wall for all to see was chemistry where I once scored a -8 (out of 100), so my feelings have been indifferent ever since.
. BTW, I am a little weak in chemistry.]
3) Will certificates of accomplishment be issued?

I'm no good at the former, as we all know, but I'm willing to volunteer for the latter.

I would assume this would already be done if we find an internet textbook or if we all purchase an existing course book. Nevertheless, it would be fun to write one from scratch with everyone's help, but it would be a much slower process, I expect.
