Training
This page explores how far there can be an online equivalent of web training sessions at Hyperactive Café. Usually these are introductions to web browsing that move on to aspects such as Flash or PDF.
There have also been sessions at the training suite of Exeter Central Library. 'Internet Express' can locate anywhere near central Exeter in theory. Hyperactive Café is not usually available for training during the day.
Groups often have something in common so relevant content needs to be identified. Otherwise Yahoo seems a reasonable place to start.

eBook University
Recently Adobe announced support for an 'eBook University', supporting the use of PDF in education and based at various exemplary US sites. Below is a logo and sample PDF from each based on a quick browse at Hyperactive. There could be links later to sites outside the US and others. The word 'ebooku' could be a search term so is part of this page. Please use it also if it seems useful and get in touch with suggestions.
