Instructors Love Guru Labs' Linux Courseware

All of the Guru Labs courseware developers are also experienced instructors. They teach Linux classes using the very materials they help create. This tight feedback loop between the classroom experience and the course development process has a powerful refining effect on the course materials. The following lists some of the key features of the courseware that instructors love.

Less Burden on the Instructor

In depth coverage of the course topics remove the need for the instructor to provide that critical bit of information that really should have been in the book to begin with.
Courseware technical accuracy that allows instructors to put their reputation behind the lecture and lab content without fear of a student "burning them".
Instructor suggestions for new lecture content, demonstrations, or labs are taken seriously and often are included in the next release of the materials.
Special instructor book that has numerous tips, factoids, demo suggestions, etc.
Extensive, real-world labs that have been "student proofed". Clear consistent typographical conventions, callout notes, and carefully designed lab checkpoints guide students to complete lab exercies successfully with minimal intervention.
