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 - http://pascal.iiit.ac.in/~tipl 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 IIIT Hyderabad Gachibowli, Hyderabad 500 032 India
