Summary


In this chapter, we saw how to create guides for students and instructors, giving your course a lasting value for students—and freeing you from being the only person who can deliver it.

We saw the main things to include in the Student Guide and then supplemented that with additional material to form the Instructor Guide.

Your preparation is almost complete. We now prepare to deliver the course.
