What would be the right name for this?  Possible candidates:

alt.uu.pedagogy
alt.uu.didactics
alt.uu.course-design

At first I thought this could be covered in the
"pedagogy" group, but for people interested only in learning
techniques and not course design, perhaps a separate group would be needed.
What would be the name for this?

alt.uu.learning
alt.uu.learning-tech
alt.uu.learning.misc
(to leave room for alt.uu.learning.books/usenet/etc or some other division)

One possible disadvantage of names like "didactics" or "pedagogy"
might be that as names for established communities they might be seen
by some people to be terms "monopolized" by the established scientific
community and/or too fixed to one (old) viewpoint (witness
sci.psychology, sci.cognitive, alt.consciousness).  Also, it might be
that the term means different things as a name of a scientific branch
in different areas of the world.
