Hello MICHAEL B, have you checked the AISC website lately? It's been a while since I have been on it, but I believe they have various links that you could probably use to bring up some different and possibly more interesting ways of getting information across. So you might consider giving that a try. Other than that, you may want to consider using the "old" hands in the shop to give the lessons on some of the things that they have already set through or know and that some of the "newer" hands don't currently know and need to. This approach might promote some comraderie and also make the sessions a bit more interesting. Making these folks feel ownership in what they are doing might keep a bit of the boredom out. Depending on the content of this training this may or may not work in your situation. A few thoughts for consideration. Best regards, aevald
