I think this is a great idea. I still think there is a place for more
traditionally organized courses, but I think this would be a great
compliment. It could be setting up a study group around a course that has
already run, around a Saylor or MIT Scholar (both have fairly complete
resources that are all open) course, around a book that is openly available
etc.
