In response to participant, instructor and member requests, AIHA is continually working to build upon our Green Meeting Initiatives. Your course is participating in this initiative by offering one or all of the following:
- Electronic distribution of handouts
Note: courses offering electronic handouts will not provide print or hard copies to attendees onsite.
- Electronic distribution of pre-reads
- Electronic distribution of references
- An online community for collaborative learning
Download and save or print handouts
You must bring either an electronic copy (loaded on a laptop) or print a copy of all course handouts to use as a reference during your course. Electricity will be provided in course meeting rooms.
All course handouts are in an Adobe PDF format, which can be viewed using the free Adobe Reader application.
Handouts are presented in color and are bookmarked, comment and typewriter enabled. If you do decide to print the handouts, make sure that your printer is set to print in black and white (or grayscale). Please consider printing double-sided on recycled paper.
