Teaching HTML

[andy_irl]

Hi there

I have been asked to teach HTML to a group in our local village
community. It is nothing too serious, just a community development
grant aided scheme. It will be a 10 week course of two hours per week
and will mainly consist of mature students. I may or may not include
GUI's depending if I can fit it all in to the time allocated.

I was wondering if anyone could point me to any useful teaching
resources for HTML on the web ie a course syllabus or teaching material
etc to give me an idea of how to structure the course.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

a particular type of site, there are some good tips in there.

Mark Tranchant's tutorial is pretty good and based on good HTML practice
(unlike some tutorials out there):
