INTRODUCTION

The CONDUIT Documentation Guidelines describe standards for packaging
computer-based curriculum materials. These guidelines stipulate those types of
documentation deemed necessary not only for local usage but also for
transportation of packages, both educationally and technically, among multiple
non-homogeneous computer installations. Documentation to comprise a complete
package will be collected from appropriate sources serving the following
purposes:

composed of faculty with interest and expertise in computer applications within
a discipline.
