I am forwarding this to the Unrev group. It appears to be a new instance of
collaborative learning, being conducted by folks of good intentions and
tremendous experience in this field.
> >The VirtualXML ConCourse is an electronic learning community for XML and
> >registration for the first 3 month session is now open. XML-DEV has
shown
> >that the virtual environment can produce a community of experts and a
> >spirit in which unique achievements can be created. The founders, Peter
> >Murray-Rust and Henry Rzepa, have now extended this concept to include
> >newcomers to XML. In our "ConCourse" everyone can experience the same
> >atmosphere and excitement in a learning environment.
> >
> >The ConCourse has a very rich XML environment with lots for everyone. It
> >creates a collaborative approach where you share your knowledge,
expertise
> >and experience with others who have complementary skills. Whether you
have
> >no previous knowledge of XML, or have successfully mastered some of the
> >basics your horizons and creativity will expand. The ConCourse's
self-paced
> >learning path has many options for personal diversion and self assessment
> >on the way. Tutorial guidance is completely electronic, including the
> >leading WebCT system.
> >
> >Although membership is by subscription, some of our specially prepared
> >material is publicly available. All materials, including the ConCourse
> >itself, are created in XML and you can see:
> > - examples of the ConCourse architecture
> > - XML over the wire (including SVG and CML)
> > - A glossary of XML terms - in XML
> > - examples of our detailed tutorial and installation
instructions
> > - slide shows and talks about XML, created in XML
> > - rendering and printing XML
> >
> >Our approach is through communal projects, discussion and "learning by
> >doing". Members receive a 350 MByte CDROM to give members a very wide
> >variety of XML tools so they can carry out all basic XML operations. We
> >give detailed instructions on how to load, run, and interpret results.
The
> >CDROM also contains the complete searchable archives of XML-DEV until
2000-02.

> >We are delighted to announce that we have been joined in the ConCourse
by:

> > Ken Holman, Crane Softwrights Ltd.
> > Simon St. Laurent

> >Ken and Simon are leading figures in XML and have written, tutored and
> >lectured copiously. Ken is the author of an unique set of electronic
> >material for XSLT, and Simon is the author of several best selling XML
> >books. They will be joining us to share their insights into XML and to
> >provide the latest news and views on key areas.
