The "How to start your own Correspondence Course" info exists already...
 

But it's not plainly visible.

JF (Jim) Straw talks about developing your own course for teaching live, in his 17 reports thingy.

Just do that, but make it via the mail.

A month a chapter of a book. The author's already done the work of segmenting it.

Same applies to stuff you've created yourself. A chapter a month.

Tests are done on sent in Worksheets. Grab an old maths book to see how they ask questions at the end of each chapter. That's your worksheet template to adapt.

Hope this helps.

I just looked at my copy of Jim's report. The section I would use is "School For Profit." (Michael was making us dig for it. *g*) Then I would combine it with Michael's suggestion. The only thing I would do different is that I would write the material myself. That way you wouldn't have to go through some of the hassles Jim discusses. Beyond that, the model is perfect.
