Vision:
The syllabus of the course would follow a traditional one-semester long calendar of roughly 16 weeks. We would have one lecture per week ( ~45 minutes given via webinar and recorded for later view). Once recorded the course could be taken as a self-paced course by anyone. Additionally the content could be formatted for sites like iTunes university. While we would use this course for CloudStack it should contain generic information applicable outside the CloudStack realm.
