Modules

The modules will be selected based on interest of the participant in this initiative. The focus is on self-learning materials.

For each module we will have:

• Title
• Audience
• General Objectives
• Specific Objectives
• Prerequisites

The process for developing a module is as follows:

1. Provide title, audience, general objectives and prerequisites
2. For each General objective develop very specific measurable objectives.
3. Develop Content for each objective
4. Each content provides explanation of the concept and examples

Module Types

Modules can be:

• Specific per standard (WMS 1.3)
• Specific per domain/market (SDI)

They are both related.
