Selecting and merging content from internal and external sources
You should appreciate that it is not always necessary to produce original content for learning packages. A wealth of learning material is available through the Internet and much of this is copyright free for educational purposes. You should ensure that any chosen material matches the learning objectives and style of the complete package and that the use which is made of the chosen material is fully compliant with copyright.
You can often find useful materials quickly with a search engine, but you may also like to check some of the following links:

If your library is an SQA centre, you may be able to get access to the PC Passport materials produced by SQA. You can get more information at: http://www.sqa.org.uk/pcpassport
