Hello,
I have reviewed several online courses created by independent Blender users and some have been very good. But I teach at the secondary level and would like to know if anyone on this thread link has developed a curriculum for high school students? I would also be more than happy to join an effort to put one together if anyone would be interested. Please let me know. Peter

Hi everyone,
I know this is a formal email list, but it would be really great to
have someone (or a small board) with time and energy to coordinate
things here.
For me, the biggest challenge would be this:
** Collect & publish training material, aimed at teachers
I mean training material that's formatted in a way you can schedule
classes, or programs for students lasting a semester. It can have
"teacher companion" material (so you can prepare well) and material to
hand out to students (exercises and tests).
I've been discussing this with people several times already... and a
lot of people really like it, but it doesn't get a momentum yet. Main
challenge therefore is how to get something like this organized...
A related topic would be this:
** Develop standardized tests for certification
As discussed extensively on the Blender Conference; we can invest time
to provide standardized tests for trainers and schools to use for
students, and allow them to certify students via these tests. These
certifications can have a cool status but always be connected by who
issued it; like:
Blender (R) Certified Specialist: Character Modeler, issued by xxx,
city, country.
Also for this system I'd like to see people to investigate and
coordinate it.
Laters,
-Ton-

Ton,
We have the beginnings of a Blender course set up. We are currently using this format at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU.edu) for out Game Design and Development Majors. We could modify this to meet the needs of the Blender Organization and perhaps include the exams there as well. This could then become an on-line education course. Let us know what you think.
Best,

I am looking for ideas for new ebooks or videos. What subjects would
help your students/classes (or yourself)? What subjects are you having
trouble with finding good info? What subjects do you think would be
really fun or cool to have available in these forms? Which form would
you have it done in?
Videos will be ether short like 1 to 5 minutes or a long form of 20
minutes. I have found anything longer to be boring so I will only do
over 20 minutes if it is REALLY needed.
I have not done a book before so I am thinking it would be better to
start short but I am open to longer ideas too!
Thanks!
