How can this page help Instructors?

As an instructor it is easy to become isolated from the main stream and to run courses in your own little world within the confines of your club. With no interaction and no knowledge sharing with other instructors at other clubs it is easy to become stale and out of date with your teaching. This page is designed to allow you to share your lecture notes, powerpoints, handouts and much more.

We have provided numerous topical items for you to download and to use if you think they are beneficial to your courses. This page will work well if you submit your notes to it for sharing by other instructors. We will check your documents and adjust them if necessary before displaying them. We would welcome your input and support of this page and to spread the work of its existance.
