I am running a beginner-level "Online Maps with OpenLayers" course, covering OpenStreetMap and basics of OpenLayers. Participants' final project is researching a real-world application of geospatial technology and designing their own map for their Interest Project. Hopefully the course will produce a good number of starter examples, answer newbie questions, and help non-technical people turn their JPG maps such as http://3rain.org/maps.php into informative and visually-appealing web maps. The course page is http://p2pu.org/webcraft/online-maps-openlayers and I would appreciate input on topics for this course, something beyond the existing Examples page. I have made OpenLayers maps before, some for Ushahidi and a city water department, but I would also appreciate if an expert could volunteer to help if we're unable to get something working.
