:) You should check out the other offerings too. If you volunteer as a moderator for even one course, they'll let you take classes for free. (You can moderate a course you haven't taken, providing you have a good background in the subject.)

Yeah, maybe not now...I know you're busy. But it never hurts to take a peek.

I think they'd like it. netsearcher April 9 2006, 03:17:46 UTC

I wouldn't be surprised if there was one in the works. Drop a note to Richard Dean; he's the head honcho there and he is most likely the one who created the Cybercrime course.

The last time I looked in their "volunteers wanted" section, it said that there was a backlog of courses that need to be converted to their online format. If that's not the case/no course exists or is in the works, feel free to shoot a proposal over to them. They have links for propspective teachers. Go to http://vu.org/proposal.html for additional info. They pay $200 a course.

Even if there is a backlog of stuff, I suspect a course like that might be given some priority due to it's importance.
