I remembered this only after I sent the mail, here is an example of what I was 
speaking of:

http://www.upfrontsystems.co.za/courses

I had used that to conduct one zope course myself (with explicit permission from 
the guys at Upfront). If you skim through the material you'll see that they make 
references to the handouts and code but that isn't available for download (but 
that does not make the content less useful).
