David, In a past life I was an Autocad Dealer/Instructor. I'm much better now! I mutated into a 3D Studio Dealer. <BG> Although we used Drake's materials for Novell training we found that the Materials for AutoCAD R12: Upgrade Training through the MicroCAD Institute were the best available at the time. I don't know why you couldn't just work something out with them using their materials instead of re-inventing the lesson plan. You may be able to do it better but it's going to take you a lot of time. I'm not sure if that is what your primary interest is or not. Since they asked you to prepare the lesson plans, perhaps they don't want to pay the institutes fee's. In any event I'd contact them to find out if you can work something out with them. If not, at least you know what the current real-world rates are for this kind of work/product. The Microcad institute is located at P.O. Box 1481 Arlington, MA 02174. Their Phones are: 1-800-448-7871 and the Fax is 617-648-4508. One of their Lab book writer's is Walter Kappelmann, I'd try to talk to him first. Good Luck! Murph'
