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

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
