Further support

In order to determine the kind of support required, it's helpful if participating lecturers would provide information about the kind of resources they wish to include in the CMR:

• Is the material already available? If so, in what form (Word files, photocopies, web pages, links, etc)?
• How would the materials be best delivered (Word files, web pages, PDF, etc), and do you need advice on this?
• How will the material be structured on the web? Do you need templates? Do you need advice on this?
