Explain how you intend for students to use the Course Handbook in the class and the Course Companion CD both within and outside the class. Explain that during the lecture, the students can refer to the Course Handbook, as it contains all of the critical technical information that they need in a crisp, tightly-focused format, which is just right for effective in-class learning experience. Mention that this format will maintain the student’s undivided attention in the class. Mention that the content on the CD supplementing the Course Handbook provides an opportunity for extended self-oriented learning beyond the classroom.
