XED opens their Linux course to students!
https://www.edx.org/
I've finished Chapter One of the source. A comprehensive introduction to Linux.
The course recommends using a GNOME version of Fedora or OpenSUSE or Ubuntu, but any distro based on them (CentOS, Linux Mint and, of course, Kubuntu) is acceptable. Those who haven't used GNOME can install Ubuntu 14.04 as a guest OS, or run it as a LiveUSB or LiveCD (as recommended by the course material). What you would learn running GNOME would be helpful and most of that knowledge would transfer to Kubuntu & KDE anyway. Besides, it will give you the opportunity to compare GNOME with Kubuntu and see the overwhelming power ofthe Force ... errr ... KDE 4.13.x
I will be completing the course using KDE instead of GNOME. If there is interest I may start a thread showing KDE work-a-rounds for GNOME peculiarities for those who take the course using Kubuntu & KDE.
