Training materials

During the third year of the DOPLA project (1999 - 2000), we produced an extensive pack of training materials for use in your own institution. This pack is now available and will be sent out to HEFCE-funded institutions on request.. However, we are also using these Web pages to make the materials widely available.

The materials can be downloaded, printed and copied by staff from institutions of higher education in the UK. If you are not a member of staff from one of these institutions, please contact the Project Office for further information. You will need Acrobat Reader to access these documents.
