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>
* Structural Guidelines: What headings should be included. Should
pictures be included, size of pictures, quality of pictures.<br>
* Writing guidelines: What voice to use, the level of detail to go
into.<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>
* Storage guidelines: Should it be stored in git?<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>
* License guidelines: What license should material be published
under?<br>
* Target Audience: What level is the target audience.<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 qualification, learning goals? This
leads to setting exams based on learning goals and material
contents.<br>
* Editorial control: Assuming you crowd source some material, will
you have an editor on staff to ensure guidelines above to ensure
quality and above guidelines are followed.<br>
* Distribution format: How is documentation, sample data, and
software to be distributed to the classroom? Note, classroom might
be a MOOC run from someone's home. OSGeo-Live might be one way?
Setting up on a cloud based virtual machine that people can log
into is another.<br>
<br>
Once the above has been defined, it will facilitate the OSGeo
Community to maintain this documentation very efficiently at a
very high level of quality.<br>
<br>
It might be worth adding this list above into the training
material wiki? And others may have more suggestions to add to this
list.<br>

<div>Bob - can I ask you to link to training material for

for use in an open education context (so something that
is free to be re-mixed into an academic course).</div>

<div>Jeff - GeoNode has been added as a project - but also

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>
