Now that I am on the other side (the teaching one), I decided to share my enthusiasm with students. Like I know some of the LyX users have very little knowledge of LaTeX, I am confused: shall I start teach LaTeX or LyX ?
LyX is designed to create texts in LaTeX without the knowledge of LaTeX. And this concepts works. I know people who have written large documents without knowing how LaTeX is working in the background of LyX.
My experience: If they had problems, you could explain them a single LaTeX-command and how it is entered correctly into LyX as ERT and the next time they were able to use this command without help. It's a kind of learning LaTeX/LyX step by step. But if the step is too high, you'll immediately hear the sentences
"It's too complicated. Word is so much easier, I'll return to it."
It lasts a while till the advantages of LyX/LaTeX can compensate the difficulties.
So I mean, you should start with LyX.
