I just heard about it on Friday. It is a pilot program, offered for free 
this time around, apparently with the intention of charging for the course in 
the future. It is a 6-week course. Chris Myers, who is a member of 
MWcybercourse, has signed up, and I hope he will give us a general idea of 
what the course is like. It officially begins today (May 7). It is limited 
to 25 participants and was full by the time I learned of it. It is geared 
for MW Pro beginners. From what I have learned so far, it seems like an 
interesting way of getting people started with MW Pro, but I'm not clear on 
if it goes very far with actual Logo programming. I think the idea of 
creating a temporary (6-week) user community is very interesting. There are 
weekly lessons, and I think the participants are supposed to commit to 
working their way through the lessons and trying to apply them to projects of 
their own.

By the way, the Yahoo e-groups (at least some of them) are suffering from 
horrendously slow mail delivery lately, but messages arrive promptly on the 
Yahoo groups' websites. 

MWcybercourse has been a very quiet group lately, but there has actually been 
a lot of work going on behind the scenes which I will be sharing with you 
shortly.
