Technical Support for Course Technology Products

Course Technology is committed to supporting professors who adopt our products. In addition to the supplemental
materials you are now holding, we provide technical support by phone, by mail, and by fax.
Our telephone support staff are available to answer your questions about our products and their use in the classroom.
While we do not provide direct support to student users of our products, we are happy to provide help to professors
and to the staffs of campus microcomputer labs. Please encourage students to direct their questions to you or to the
lab staff.
If you have a technical problem, we recommend the following:
 First, check the textbook that accompanies the software.
 Many software products include on-line help. If the answer is not available in the printed materials, try
using the Help feature of your software.
 Feel free to call Course Technology's technical support lines during business hours (9 AM to 5 PM
Eastern Time), Monday through Friday. Be prepared to describe which product you're working with, the
hardware you're using, and the problem you're having.
We also encourage you to call or write us and report on how you've been using our products in the classroom. We'd
also be glad to share techniques that other instructors have used.

Note: For Course Technology products that include software, support is available only from Course Technology.
Your software license does not entitle you to support from the original developer of the software. We will
do everything we can to answer your questions, including, when necessary, contacting the original software
developer for you.
