5.11 - Workshop Report (Annual Event, June 2007)

The Annual Event 2007 was a two-day event involving workshops and presentations of all 9 Work Packages, plenary meetings, and stakeholder (representatives, research organisations, NGOs, SMEs, students, wider public) presentations on perceived needs from training providers, followed by discussions. Vertical work package workshops were held with multi-stakeholder involvement to ensure implementation of the vertical objectives. Decision makers had the opportunity to express industry practices and needs to the academic community, yielding business-driven solutions.

Work Package 5 held a core group meeting – visioning the AQUA-TNET portal in 2010 -. Please CLICK HERE for the workshop report.

5.15 - Database of innovative learning resources for aquaculture and fisheries

The “Innovation in aquaculture teaching and learning” report contains a guide of innovative tools and resources, and a special chapter on “Learning object repositories”. The development of an online guide to finding, using and sharing innovative teaching materials was considered more appropriate, as it was found that there were many already existing initiatives in this area, with a broader remit. Example databases and repositories are provided:

•    ARIADNE: http://www.ariadne-eu.org/

•    JORUM  http://www.jorum.ac.uk/

•    INTUTE http://www.intute.ac.uk/

•    MERLOT http://www.merlot.org/merlot/index.htm

•    ASK http://ask.oucs.ox.ac.uk/

•    The Gateway http://www.thegateway.org/
