Here are a few spots you can check into.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autodeskpress.com\/\">Autodesk Press<\/a> has a lot of material that has been developed over the years.  It is good foundational material.<\/p>\n<p>Some are free like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.3d-cadcea.co.uk\/html\/task1.htm\">CADCEA<\/a> 3d Tutorials.  I have not tried this one.  Some of the free stuff is very good and others are worth what you pay for them.<\/p>\n<p>Check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cadtutor.net\/\">CAD Tutor<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.we-r-here.com\/cad_07\/tutorials\/index.htm\">MyCADSite<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.caddigest.com\/subjects\/autocad\/tutorials\/\">CAD Digest<\/a> has a great list.  Not many of these are good for a classroom setting.<\/p>\n<p>I have used <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ascented.com\/\">Ascent<\/a> materials before.  They are good.  Step by step outlines of what to do.  You can actually view a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ascented.com\/evaluation_courseware\/AutoCAD\/AutoCAD\/AutoCAD%202008%20Fundamentals.pdf\">sample of their courseware<\/a> on their site.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cadapult-software.com\/\">CADapult software solutions<\/a> has Civil courseware.
