With the hope that this message will reach an interested audience, and with the hope that I'm not breaking too many of the University's rules, I want to share a few details about an on-line course that should be of interest to Talossans. The first lecture starts tomorrow (2014-03-03), but the class material can be viewed at any time once posted.

Good luck, scholars.
