1. Introduction
As the range of information and services on the Internet expands, so
does the potential user population. Given the significant investment
in the network and the various networked information and data
services, it is essential that the broad spectrum of potential users
are made aware of these services. In particular they require
training in using these facilities and in making effective use of the
tools available for searching for and retrieving information
available on the global network.
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.
The full list of Categories used is:
User Guides
Resource Guides
Trainer Guides
Presentation Material
Workshop Exercises
Self-Paced Material
Online Collections
4. Updating information
The catalogue is available online. As this will be more up to date
than the RFCversion, the online version should be used as the basis
for any updates. The WWW version of the document provides a
mechanism, through an HTML form, to send updates (and new material)
to the maintainers of this catalogue.
To access the document online you may use the World Wide Web using:
http://www.trainmat.ietf.org/catalogue.html
http://www.trainmat.ietf.org/template.html
Updates to the catalogue are welcome and can be made by either
completing a template and sending it to "catalogue@connect.com.au" or
(preferably) by using the HTML form on the World Wide Web
http://www.trainmat.ietf.org/form.html
The new and revised entries are reviewed by a small international
editorial board made up of TRAINMAT volunteers. The updating of the
catalogue is done on a best effort basis and is subject to review.
