Perhaps you are not yet an expert on web publishing your instructional materials or your lecture - demonstrations for use on the Internet as "distance learning".  You may not have your own computer yet. There are millions of instructors, trainers, and would-be instructor-trainers like you with something constructive to offer students.

How can you prepare to web publish your instructional materials with minimal expense for new or upgraded software and at minimal expense in your probably unpaid work time?

Or you only have access to the computers in an Internet Café".  (b) You have hand-written or typed instructional materials onto paper. (c) You have at least one copy (the original?) of each set of instructional material.

  2. Case: (a) You (or a friend) know how to use a word processor program. (b) Your existing instructional materials are hand-written on paper or printed on paper.
    What to do?:
    • Retype the hand-written or printed (a.k.a. hardcopy) materials using the word processor software you have available to you.
      If you have no computer, use a friend's computer or go to an "Internet Café" which has 1+ desktop or laptop computers available for you to use. Type your materials into a 1+ word processing files on one of these computers.
    • Save the word processed file in two locations: one on your own computer, if you have one.  Save a second copy on a removable file storage device.  Put the removable storage device in a secure fire-safe.
