ThinkBIGLearnSmart's Virtual Online Live Adobe Acrobat 508 Lesson Plan is an overview of what we generally intend to cover in our classes; however specific items (topics) that are actually discussed in class may vary per location. It is the desire of the instructor to focus on meeting the objectives of the students who registered for the class, rather than going through a course outline systematically.
