I have just a few thoughts about how we handled a journal study group
for another list I belong to.  One person was in charge of  introducing
the topic (in this case a journal article but for this list's purposes
it could easily be the next topic on the syllabus).  Then we'd have a
lively discussion via e-mail, dissecting the topic.  We never did chat
and I think it worked quite well with e-mail.  We had less experienced
people asking great questions and wonderful old-timers and topic
specialists to give expansive answers.  It was also a big group of women
with a handful of men.  ;-)

Beth
who'll probably just sit back and watch you gals, because I'm working on
my A+ (and I have the Linux+ book, too), but who finds this idea very
intriguing
