#6:Describe the audience for this course. This is an opportunity for you to identify students who might not have the appropriate background or experience to attend the course.
#11:<<Use this slide for printed courseware. Use next slide for digital courseware.>>
Introduce the students to their course materials.
Explain how you intend for students to use the Course Handbook in the class, and the Digital Companion Content outside the class:
Explain that students can refer to the Course Handbook during the lecture because it contains all of the critical technical information that they need in a crisp, tightly-focused format, which is suited for an effective in-class learning experience.
The Digital Companion Content supplements the Course Handbook, and provides an opportunity for extended, self-directed learning beyond the classroom.
#12:<<Use this slide for digital courseware. Use previous slide for printed courseware.>>
Introduce the students to their course materials.
Take this opportunity to ensure that all students can sign in and access their content. In addition, demonstrate some of the features and functionality.
You also can mention that the courseware is updated over time. Their content will also be updated so they always have the latest, most technically up-to-date content, and they will not lose any comments, notes, or highlights they have made.
#19:This course will use the following virtual machines:
20740A-LON-DC1 (-B)
20740A-LON-SVR1 (-B)

You should take this opportunity to show students the lab environment.
Take a moment to sign in and describe the lab environment to the students. Be sure to point out the online Lab Notes document, which contains details of any changes to the lab steps.
#21:<< Use this slide for on-premises local labs.>>
<< Delete the slide that you are not using.>>
