Learning 2.0 – 23 Things.
I stumbled across this mini-course, made in Blogger, which purports to teach the user 23 new and cool things about the web in as many weeks (perhaps sooner).

When developing training materials, keep in mind the skimming reader. Encourage, with both carrot and stick, to actually read the material. The carrot can be as simple as making the information engaging (incorporate the social side of training–scenarios, case studies, real life impact, etc.) or very, very direct (push this button and your entire warehouse inventory will be deleted from the system).

One should not, though, merely print out an entire PPT presentation as a hand-out. You are, in essence, telling the student that even the transition slides or of great value. They will disagree. Rather, you can pull out a few of the more salient slides (processes, terms, etc.) and provide these to the students. This allows the content to go with them (souvenir happy) and provides a place to take extra notes (content happy).
A free pen also sits well.
