Charles Coe asks about learning AW and preparing a course in it.

In my experience, the best way to learn AW (or about any other
computer application) is to start USING it, beginning with very
simple constructions, and progressing to more complicated stuff.
I have no experience with the training course offered by MM,
but I have had similar courses on other applicaitons and I
have not found them all that useful; too much to cover in too
quick a time.  Even if you do plan to take such a course,
get some prior experience so you won't be preoccupied with
the elementary details.

Once you have developed a set of mini-lessons for your own
learning, you can use these as a basis for a similar series
of progressive exercises for your class.  Good luck!
