How to Access OceanTeacher Courses

OTA training courses

OceanTeacher Components (binary structure) OceanTeacher Classroom – Courses on oceanographic data and information management. – based upon Moodle software – contains a collection of outlines, notes and links to miscellaneous documents in the Digital Library. – registration enables assistance by lecturers as well as communication with other students before, during and after the course. OceanTeacher Digital Library – data and information management materials, including software (open source), quality control and analysis strategies, and reference documents. – The wiki-style Digital Library is build upon the MediaWiki software. OceanTeacher Academy OceanTeacher is a comprehensive web-based training system that supports Classroom training (face-to-face), Blended training (combining classroom and distance learning), online tutoring and online self-learning. OceanTeacher has been developed as a training system for ocean data managers (working in ocean data centres), marine information managers (marine librarians) as well as for marine researchers who wish to acquire knowledge on data and/or information management. In addition OceanTeacher is being used for training in other related disciplines. When the Digital Library and OpenCourseWare are used together for a training event this is called an OceanTeacher Classroom. The collection of all training instances constitutes the OceanTeacher Academy.
