<br><div>As part of Mozilla's Drumbeat initiative, P2PU will be hosting free volunteer-run courses on open web technologies.</div><div>About: <a href="http://www.drumbeat.org/webcraft/about">http://www.drumbeat.org/webcraft/about</a></div>
<div>Course list: <a href="http://p2pu.org/webcraft/course/find">http://p2pu.org/webcraft/course/find</a></div><div><br></div><div>I am running a beginner-level "Online Maps with OpenLayers" course, covering OpenStreetMap and basics of OpenLayers. Participants' final project is researching a real-world application of geospatial technology and designing their own map for their Interest Project. Hopefully the course will produce a good number of starter examples, answer newbie questions, and help non-technical people turn their JPG maps such as <a href="http://3rain.org/maps.php">http://3rain.org/maps.php</a> into informative and visually-appealing web maps.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The course page is <a href="http://p2pu.org/webcraft/online-maps-openlayers">http://p2pu.org/webcraft/online-maps-openlayers</a> and I would appreciate input on topics for this course, something beyond the existing Examples page.</div>
<div>I have made OpenLayers maps before, some for Ushahidi and a city water department, but I would also appreciate if an expert could volunteer to help if we're unable to get something working.</div><div><br></div><div>
