4. Feedback from Webinar on DRM 2015
Assignments to work on using the software discussed in the Moodle.
More practical examples and tutorials on software
Further demonstrations and techniques in software used for analyzing the data.
Disaster response scenario event practical videos.
Practical classes on programming TerraMA2.
If hands-on training on remote sensing and GIS software are included, would greatly improve the course.
Information on processing of data instead of results. Demonstrate how to derive maps and products.
Quiz questions could be more technical.
