When we started this project, I did not want to narrow down the list of possible topics for lessons or courses until we had a chance to start talking to people about their needs and interests. I did some initial planning around course and lesson ideas in a public "Local Preservation 101" Trello board but did not continue using that board past the fall.

In this case, a course is a discrete collection of related lessons or tutorials that we can publish in a stand-alone repository. A course could be used as a more traditional self-guided online course, as the basis for a preservationist Learning Circle, or as a resource for the facilitator of a formal workshop or training.

Here are a few course ideas that we are working on:

• Explore Baltimore Heritage 101
• Local Data 101 (Thanks to @aejolene for this idea.)

Here are a few ideas I'd like to work on:

• Preservation Advocacy 101 (We have a related Google Doc open for comments here.)
• Neighborhood Preservation 101 (This may be the focus of our workshop in Philadelphia.)
• Organizing and Preservation (This could borrow from the open operational guides that I've started publishing for Baltimore Heritage).

I can expand on these ideas with short descriptions for each course but I'd also welcome comments or suggestions for what may be missing from this list.
