| You can now get paper AND online manuals for Wise Owl courses |

| It's taken a long time, but you can now finally get a downloadable PDF file of your Wise Owl course manual, to go with the paper copy. |
In this blog
If you book a place on one of our courses you will now automatically get an electronic copy of the course manual.
Rest assured that you can still get a paper copy too, free of charge. We will ask you before any course whether you want to receive a printed manual.
The rest of this blog explains how this new service works!
We've created a new courseware generation system using Aspose.Words to take a set of Word chapters:

How a Wise Owl courseware manual starts life ...
And turn this into a course manual, complete with front page and table of contents:

The start of a new manual.
After a great deal of work we now have courseware manuals which are identical on screen and on paper!
After creating an account on our website, you can see a list of the courses that you are due to attend or have attended:

This imaginary feline has been on our popular Coding for cats course.
You can click on any course to download its course manual or view its exercises:

Here there's one (slightly surprising) manual assigned to this course; you can click on this to download it.
Probably the best thing is that you can now press Ctrl + F to find a particular topic:

Want to find where waterfall charts are mentioned in the courseware? Now you can!
You will have access to the PDF version of your courseware manual as follows:
| Time | Details |
|---|---|
| Start of access | About a week before your course is due to take place, provided that your course place is confirmed. |
| End of access | Two years after the course date (although we suspect the courseware will have become out of date by then). |
We hope you appreciate being able to view courseware online, and would welcome any comments about this new service.
