  I think it is a wonderful idea!  
  It would be super easy to make this collection an official TUTR class - just need to come up with a credit total and decide if there will be partial credit given to those who don't complete the entire thing.  Just something to think on from an administrative end.

  As far as all the ideas of changing and altering content and times - they are excellent suggestions but when you are doing something like this you really do need to do what works for yourself and the students who are going to commit to it.  You also need to go with your strengths.  

  Not every teacher will suit every students needs.  

  Maybe other teachers can take this concept and run with it in their area and tailor it to their knowledge base and student need.  

  I say go for it!  Just decided ahead of time on the credit thing . . .
