That's a fascinating challenge.

I wonder how much more freedom of movement you have in such an adult
education situation, versus a standardized public school system.

I've had a good constructive talk with an educator here, who was a
technology specialist before moving into administration, and he's
related to me what he thinks the challenges at getting teachers using
open software.  There can be significant inertia against change in the
classroom.

But I wonder if the same forces acting against change exist in adult
education situations.
