Course Materials.
An intranet is an ideal repository for course syllabi and lessons plans, giving instructors quick access to the latest curriculum materials.

Training Manuals.
A major advantage here is that an intranet allows for easy updating to reflect product and organizational changes. Because these manuals can be made a part of the search document base, employees can easily find via keyword search the information they need to review. Another advantage is that audio and video can be added to enhance the materials.

Class Catalog and Registration.
In settings where students have intranet access, universities and colleges that publish catalogs can place them online, reducing printed catalog costs. Links between catalog content and related materials can make the online catalog even more useful than its printed counterpart. For example, clicking on a link while browsing various course descriptions can take the student to the specific course syllabus. Students can then register online.

Presentations.
Whether for corporate training or customer training, these are easily updated and distributed to instructors via the intranet. High levels of consistency and quality can be maintained.

Audio and Video.
Because of the high bandwidth of the Local Area Network, audio and video clips can be delivered over the intranet, making the learning experience that much more enjoyable.

Class Schedules.
Because of the changing nature of class schedules, intranets are an ideal repository of this information. If students have access to the intranet, they will find this information valuable as well.
