Re: another question about designing an instructor-led course

[Gregory P Sweet <gps03 -at- health -dot- state -dot- ny -dot- us>]

If the intention is to be able to hand the instructor guide off to someone
who had no hand in developing the course work, the leader should be an
expanded and annotated copy of the participant guide.  What the student is
seeing in their book should never be a surprise to the instructor.
