I've held off posting since the course we (BFOIT) have
is rarely used by a student on their own. It has been,
with e-mail support. And, when I teach the course using
the website, I always have at least one student that
works on their own ahead of me. The final (advanced)
lessons are also a work-in-progress - basically because
I get few students that make it this far; but,
completing it is something I'll continue to pursue.
So, since you've asked twice... even though it might
not be what you are looking for... here's what we
have:

Introduction to computer science/programming

No, the on-line materials have been used by others (including
public schools) over the last five or more years.

No restrictions on use - this is Berkeley :)
> 5 - If you are teaching online courses, do you have special
> teachers that teach them or to your regular classroom
> teachers teach online.
Teachers that I have been in communication with do not seem
to be special. One teacher was new to computer science and
programming and, so, lots of e-mail was exchanged.
> 6 - Are you using Video conferencing? Can you tell me how
> you are using it?
I have not experimented with this yet, but have been thinking
about video for at least a year. I've played with Skype, but
not in a formal setting.
> Please let me know if I can contact you with additional questions.
