On a personal note...
We are beginning our second year teaching this via USDA.  As the
instructor, I try to offer an environment for exploring personal
interests in this emerging field. Students who have taken the class often
feel challenged and enlightened... and they usually leave the course as
user advocates.  We have fun.  If you're local, join us.
