Subject: How do teachers use org-mode

Dear Org-mode users:
I am using org-mode this semester to host my course notes. For me
org-mode was a god-send, since I had been struggling to organize
course notes in plain html before that.
The course pages done in org-mode are at
- http://pascal.iiit.ac.in/~itws2

In the Information Technology workshop course I am teaching this
semester, we have introduced emacs and org-mode as part of the
course's curriculum to 1st year (freshman) students. As part of the
course, they are required to do their lab reports in Org-mode.
Emacs continues to be a difficult climb for many students, but
org-mode is an important motivator. I expect that most of the 180
students in class will become comfortable with emacs by the end of the
semester.
I am interested to hear from others who have used org-mode as part of
their teaching activities.
Sincerely,
Venkatesh Choppella
