very well put together for those who are looking to actually learn OpenGL.

Many people have a romanticized view of OpenGL, whereas in fact it is very very hard and confusing.

For beginner teaching purposes, basically any other graphic library is preferable, and can still teach the same core design philosophies that OpenGL uses.

For students / learners who know what OpenGL is, have maybe played around with the Hello World examples online, and want to really delve into the depths of OGL, this is a very good guide.
