RFC 2007 Catologue of Network Training Materials October 1996
The rapid expansion of the user base has made it difficult for
network trainers to keep up with the demand for training. Librarians,
Computing Service staff and subject-based Network Support staff all
have a vital role to play in training users. Easy access to quality
network training materials and the pooling of resources will help
spread the load.
The purpose of this document is to provide a catalogue of quality
Network Training Materials for use by Internet trainers. By
providing such a collection of pointers to useful resources, it is
hoped that trainers will be relieved of much of the load of producing
current training materials. The intention is to make this a "living
document". It will be held on-line so that each section may be
updated separately as appropriate.
2. How the information was collected
The information contained in this report was collected over the
network by volunteers from the Trainmat Working Group from the
contacts for each network training resource using the Trainmat
template (see Appendix A). The contents of this template had been
discussed by the Trainmat WG at its meetings and on the mailing list.
The decision on whether or not to include an item was made by the
members of the working group.
3. What is covered?
This catalogue covers network training materials. These are
categorised as follows:
Presentation Material: including OHP masters, speaker's
hand-outs and speaker's notes
Workshop Exercises: including workshop hand-outs as well
as detailed instructions for
undertaking hands-on exercises
Self-Paced Material: including online tutorials
Some material such as selected User Guides, Resource Guides
and Trainer Guides are of particular use to trainers and
have been included as appropriate. The resource lists included
are those assembled for training purposes and those frequently
used or referred to in training.
Special Online Collections of training materials are now
available and a selection of these is included.
