Hi Maria,<br>
I'd like to suggest that the second step in generating training
material (after sourcing existing material) is to define a template
and development process for UN Training material. The following list
is based on what we have learned from building OSGeo-Live material.<br>
<br>
Considerations:<br>
<br>
* Structural Guidelines: What headings should be included. Should
pictures be included, size of pictures, quality of pictures.<br>
<br>
* Writing guidelines: What voice to use? What level of detail to go
into?<br>
<br>
* Translation guidelines: How should the documents be structured to
allow easy translation? How do you know if a translation is up to
date?<br>
<br>
* Storage guidelines: Should it be stored in git?<br>
<br>
* Maintenance guidelines: How often are the docs expected to be
updated? How do you write documents such that they are timeless? How
can people report errors or improvements in documentation? What is
the plan for updating the documentation when an application is
updated? How is this resourced?<br>
<br>
* License guidelines: What license should material be published
under?<br>
<br>
* Target Audience: What level is the target audience?<br>
<br>
* Flow between courses: Assuming students will do multiple courses,
how to you avoid overlap between courses? What are prerequisites or
assumed knowledge before attempting a course. How will material
trace back to a qualifications and learning goals? This leads to
setting exams based on learning goals and material contents.<br>
<br>
* Editorial control: Assuming you crowd source some material, will
you have an editor on staff to ensure guidelines are followed to
maintain quality.<br>
<br>
* Distribution format: How is documentation, sample data, and
software to be distributed to the classroom? Note, the course might
be a MOOC and the student at home. OSGeo-Live might be one
distribution format? Setting up on a cloud based virtual machine
that people can log into is another.<br>
<br>
* ... Others might have further ideas for this list.<br>
<br>
--<br>
<br>
Once answers to the above have been defined, it will facilitate the
OSGeo Community to maintain documentation very efficiently at a high
level of quality. Should this list be added to the training material
wiki?<br>

All<br>
as many of you know, OSGeo and G4A started a
volunteer initiative for evaluating a
possible migration of UN geospatial
applications from proprietary to FOS S. <br>
I'm there the representative of G4A and I'm
in charge of leading, together with Prof.
Ki-Joune Li, the capacity building program
of this UN OpenGIS Initiative.<br>
I'm kindly asking all of you, if you have
short courses or workshops (for instance
those held at FOSS4G Conferences) about<br>
<br>
QGIS, PostreSQL, PostGIS, Geoserver,
OpenLayers, Geonode<br>
<br>
of referencing them at this wiki page<br>
