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.







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.




RFC 2007        Catologue of Network Training Materials     October 1996


   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 RFC version, 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.

Appendix B: Notes on completing the TrainMat template

1.      Selecting a new resource for inclusion

   When considering a new resource for inclusion in the Trainmat
   Catalogue, you will need to ask a few questions to decide whether or
   not it should be included.

1.1     Does the item belong in a Training Materials Catalogue?

   This catalogue covers network training materials, including self
   teaching materials, and other resources which facilitate and support
   training.

   A generous interpretation of what constitutes 'training materials' is
   appropriate. (See also the note 3.2 on 'Category'.) Training can be
   thought of as 'seeking to change behaviour', and if a document does
   try to do that, then it can be considered for inclusion in this
   catalogue.  A document that leads the reader through sample exercises
   may come into this category, but a reference card listing the
   commands to use does not. Appropriate  resource lists to include are
   lists assembled for training purposes and lists frequently used or
   referred to in training.

   As this is an international catalogue it is generally not appropriate
   to include material for specific services or networks. That said,
   some national or regional network training material is of sufficient
   generality to be considered for inclusion.

1.2      Is the content reasonably up-to-date and worth including?

   It is intended that the catalogue contains a selection of quality
   training materials, not a comprehensive list of everything available.
   Some degree of 'quality control' is needed on the entries. You will
   need to decide whether the item is still relevant and reasonably up-



RFC 2007        Catologue of Network Training Materials     October 1996


   to-date.  Anything which is two or more years old requires careful
   scrutiny.

1.3     Is it easily available?

   Is there an established mechanism for obtaining it? This doesn't mean
   it has to be free.

2.      Submitting a new or revised template

   The template for inputting new entries to the catalogue is given in
   Appendix A. The prefered method of inputting new or updated
   information is via an HTML form accessible via the following URL:

           http://www.trainmat.ietf.org/form.html

   You will need to use a Web browser with forms capability. Input
   should be quite straightforward. There are drop-down menus to help
   with input to some fields.

   Alternatively, completed templates may be emailed to:

           catalogue@connect.com.au

   This mailing list is a small closed 'review' group for deciding
   whether or not an item should be included in the catalogue.

   Please note that when you enter a new template you will be listed as
   the person responsible for the entry.

   The same procedures may be used by the person responsible for an
   entry, to update an existing entry.

3.      Notes on completing the various fields of the template

   The intention is to keep each entry reasonably short (and preferably
   not more than one page in length). Descriptions and other long fields
   should therefore be kept to a reasonable length. Note that fields
   continued on the next line should be indented by at least one white
   space

   Each completed template is auto-allocated a "handle" to uniquely
   identify it.








RFC 2007        Catologue of Network Training Materials     October 1996


3.1     Handle

   A unique identifier for the material at this source. This field is
   usually automatically generated and need not be entered when creating
   a new entry from the template.

3.2     Category

   "Category"  should be selected from the following set:

           User Guides
           Resource Guides
           Trainer Guides
           Presentation material
           Workshop Exercises
           Self-Paced material
           On-Line Collections

   Only user guides that are particularly useful in training should be
   included.

   Appropriate resource lists to include are lists assembled for
   training purposes and lists frequently used or referred to in
   training.

   Presentation material would include OHP masters, speaker's hand-outs
   and speaker's notes.

   Workshop exercises would include workshop hand-outs as well as
   detailed instructions for undertaking hands-on exercises.

   Self-Paced material would include online tutorials.

   Online Collections are useful lists of training materials.

3.3     Country

   The ISO two letter country code followed by the English words should
   be used. For example:
           US      - United States
           AU      - Australia

   A full list of these codes is available from:

   Description: Discussion list for librarians, computer support personnel,
           and all those who are involved in teaching others how to use
           Bitnet and Internet. Topics for discussion include such areas
           as: how to divide responsibility for teaching internetwork use;
           methods of teaching and resources used; and policies on access
           (faculty, student, staff) to the networks. NETTRAIN will also
           serve as a clearinghouse for Bitnet and Internet training
           materials developed in a variety of contexts and for a variety
           of needs. NETTRAIN is, therefore, intended for experienced
           users of Bitnet and Internet, *not* for beginners looking for
           help with basic questions.
