Our questions for you…
How do you use the internet for your classwork?
Do you have trouble finding good online resources? Have you ever used a digital library?
What services could a digital library provide that would be helpful?
• Am the project lead/instructional designer – run the project and figure out HOW to teach the material
• Work with staff meteorologist and subject matter experts from around the world who provide the content and work with the ID to write the ‘script’
• Work with graphic artists, who create the graphics and animations
• Hand over the materials to the programmers and testers
Marianne – instructional designer
EUMETSAT sponsors a team of meteorology instructors and me (ID) to create CD- based and online modules that help forecasters improve their forecasting skills by making better use of satellite data
Ultimate goal: To help African farmers know when to plant, help transportation industries (planes, ships…), etc.
Modules are used by:• RMTC instructors to augment their teaching• Forecasters as self-paced learning in their offices
International work is fascinating!
