Hey Branden,


Why don't you offer these classes on the net? You could run them for longer

than a couple of days, write the textbook that goes with them (heck all the

college profs do that ;), and open the class up to the whole world instead

of just those people in, or able to travel to, your area. I took a couple of

hwg classes and they weren't bad (didn't at all feel like I wasted my

money). But even those aren't taking full advantage of the net - if you've

ever been involved with a multi-user dimension, you can see how easy it'd be

to set up a text-based real-time classroom for full-class interaction, and

an office for one-on-one for the slower students (for classes you really

don't need graphics slowing things down). (I've got an 3-room office with a

secretary like this - soon as I get a little better at actionscripting and

integrating, it'll have some graphics and some flash too :). Anyways, just

like licensing games, this'd be smart marketing because it would expand your

audience to a good percentage of the world, anyway surely better than you

can do locally, and you can sell the same thing over and over (of course,

you're doing that now, but you get my drift, I hope.)


Anyone interested in trying it? I've got the server-side code (the part that

allows people to connect and all) and the ability to create the spaces

(anyone who doesn't understand what this means, feel free to email me

offlist and I'll explain it better), but I'd need server space (somewhere

that can handle a reasonable number of connections at once), and someone

who's much better at marketing than I obviously am.
