Hi Histarchers,

My campus is in the process of developing a series of iPod courses for the military, and I realized that this might be a good opportunity for me to develop a single, one-class presentation for use by archaeology professors.

My thought is that I could put together a 50-minute class on the basics of bottle identification and dating, then make that available through NMSU's iTunes University for use by archaeology professors or anyone else who wanted to offer a basic presentation.  That could include, for example, field crews, lab crews, local historical societies, etc.

Assuming that works well, I could make a series of individual classes * one for beer bottles, one for beer cans, one for soda bottles, milk bottles, etc.

Right now, this is still in the idea stage.  All of the infrastructure is in place, so the actual delivery of the class is not in question.  What I am seeking feedback on is whether this would actually be welcomed and if it would be used.

I encourage any feedback.

Bill
