The issue here seems to be more about what topics the students should learn rather than the software choice. But one way or the other, the teaching should emphasize general methods, rather than software workflows. This is often challenging to achieve, thus me and my colleagues suggest that at least two different software packages should be actively used in classes and at least one of them should be open source. In the following article we provide reasoning and details: http://www.mdpi.com/2220-9964/4/2/942 Here is a material available for reuse (with attribution) using QGIS and GRASS GIS for remote sensing: http://spatialquerylab.com/foss4g-academy-curriculum/gst-105-introduction-to-remote-sensing/ Vaclav
