The culture, history, and society of Sri Lanka provide an excellent resource for case studies that illustrate broader themes relevant to many community college courses. As a result, AISLS is commissioning a number of teaching units for use by community college teachers. These units may also be used by teachers of introductory courses at four-year colleges. At present, four units are available.
