The first version of the TOSMI trainer's manual is available for download. All the experience acquired along the TOSMI classroom was gathered together for this manual, it will work as a guide for anyone interest on develop courses on open source media.
But wait! There is more coming, this could be a first draft for a Blender Foundation Trainers Guide. Here is a word about this project by Theodore Dunas:
During the blender conference we discussed with Ton the possibility to release an official blender foundation trainer's manual like a training guide to be used by trainers to set up blender education projects around the world. The Tosmi training manual will be used as a first draft for the official blender foundation trainers guide/manual. This is the version of the manual that is TOSMI specific, that is it includes information only on the experience of the modules taught at the TOSMI project (for example it does not have any info on particles etc).
So consider this post to the mailing list as a call for all blender teachers and educators to download the manual, use it, and give feedback on effectiveness , faults, errors etc, But also as a call for anyone that wishes to write / improve/ better a section of the blender foundation trainers manual/guide.
Even for a first draft, the manual already presents a lot of information, like the tools used for the training and the training strategy. If you are a teacher or instructor, you should really read the manual, and give feedback. To download the first draft of the manual, visit this link.

That's great!
I'll read and try to contribute to the manual..
Hello, any contributions are welcome, the more eyes see it the better: from small grammatical mistakes to syntax, and from screen errors to discussions about the content and the training strategy ! So please, try and use it and report on what you find etc.
