<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Anthony,<br>
As per emails below, you can see that people have been talking
about your "Maps and the Geospatial Revolution" course within the
Open Source Geospatial communities.<br>
<br>
Are you aware of the OSGeo-Live USB/DVD/Virtual Machine?<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://live.osgeo.org">http://live.osgeo.org</a><br>
OSGeo-Live provides a distribution of 50 of the best Geospatial
Open Source applications all preinstalled and configured with
sample data, ready for use in courses such as yours. It also
includes Project Overviews and Quickstarts for all these
applications: <a

<br>
I'm CCing the OSGeo Education email list, which are also doing
great things. In particular, they have been building up a network
of Open Source Geospatial Labs within Universities around the
world.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Myself and two colleagues are currently running a
(mini)MOOC on geospatial technology. We are using QGIS for two
of the labs and indiemapper for two of the labs We chose QGIS
because we wanted to keep the 'Open' in MOOC truly open.
indiemapper is not open source, but it is free to use and there
is no push for signing up for accounts or paying for services,
so we think maybe it is little 'o' open :)

Thanks for sharing<br>
<br>
It's funny that this course relies only on a privative
online mapping<br>
platform, with the massive amount of free software and data
resources<br>
for learning available out there. I'd love to see a
Coursera/or any<br>
other MOOC using OSGeo Live!!<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
