Hi Charlie,
Thanks for your feedback.

Is there any chance you could strengthen your statement to say:
"I hope to be co-teaching a web-GIS class at UMass next spring. Details 
haven't been finalised yet. However, in anticipation, I am offer to 
commit some of my time to help advise Massimo in creating content which 
will likely be of use to GIS trainers such as myself."

Regards, Cameron
