Introduction 
The Sprawls Resources are a collection of educational materials to enhance learning and teaching in class and conference sessions, collaborative group activities, and for for individual study..
  It is a resource that is open to all at no cost.

Items are being added as they are prepared for the web.  When an item is added, it will be linked from the following Table of Contents.
  When an item is highlighted and the text appears in blue, click on it and you will be taken to the appropriate material.
Online Modules are being added first for topics that are not completely covered in the text references.
A priority is adding   Visuals   for educators and group discussions.
