How are courses and other learning material for UU designed?

Some people have experience in designing learning material and
courses, and they'll do it in ways they've done it before, whatever
they are.  Are these ways suitable for "distance design" done as
groupwork, ie. with people accessible by Usenet / email?

Many people don't have experience in designing and writing material -
but they have knowledge of things which could be discussed in UU and
of which it would be useful to make material.  These people need to
learn how to author material and design courses _and/or_ to cooperate
with others to design courses and write material.

Also, it is good if many people can review each other's work and write
parts of a certain course or document.

So, we need some kind of support and organization for working in
groups in UU.  It would be good for UU to provide mechanisms and
possibly tools for this.

We could have separate newsgroups for planning courses, like
"alt.uu.lang.esperanto.planning", or we could use keywords on the
subject line.  Perhaps it would be better to have a separate group -
this way people interested only in studying would find the material
useful for them a lot easier.

Also, we should have a generic pedagogy group for trading experience
on course design, teaching, tips on designing courses etc.
