On how I’ll give away my course (and keep it from publishers).

Some faculty share their syllabi freely, others are niggardly with them. As I've noted, this project will share not just the syllabus but the lesson plans and sources for the entire course. I still haven't figured out how to bundle the materials (or created the materials - gasp). But I have figured out the correct type of Creative Commons license I'll be using. It's call an Attribution-NonCommercial copyright and will allow anyone to "remix, tweak, and build upon your work non-commercially, and although their new works must also acknowledge you and be non-commercial, they don’t have to license their derivative works on the same terms." I'm wondering if there's a GitHub of pedagogy? 

I'm grateful today for two former students who shared by email and in person suggestions for how to improve my course for poor students. Their insight is invaluable: thank you Phil and Grant.
