[extropy-chat] teaching extropian subjects

[bluesteel_0 at yahoo.co.uk]

I'd be happy to collaborate in the development of
Extropian and General Transhumanist educational /
teaching material. 

December/January *should* be the time of year I get a
little more time to work on non day-job projects too.
I was thinking along the Modular Subject line that the
UKs Open University uses, so that a full Qualification
can be assembled using accepted Modules that reflect
the personal interests and requirements of the
individual students.

I must say, 'Masters of Science in Studies of the
Future' sounds like an excellent graduate program. I
wish there was something similar here in the UK...
