I would be interested in hearing a little bit about your experiences in
teaching this online. You seem to find it helpful to keep people together,
asking the same questions at the same time, and taking tests, so in some
ways this is similar to a traditional classroom setting. How is this
similar to a face-to-face classroom setting, and how is it different? You
seem to be using IRC for classroom exercises. How is that working out?

So it takes basically 3 months to work through Machen? Do you have plans to
repeat the course?
