OceanTeacher Components (binary structure)

• OceanTeacher Classroom

– Courses on oceanographic data and information management.

– based upon Moodle software

– contains a collection of outlines, notes and links to miscellaneous documents in the Digital Library.

– registration enables assistance by lecturers as well as communication with other students before,

during and after the course.

• OceanTeacher Digital Library

– data and information management materials, including software (open source) , quality control

and analysis strategies, and reference documents.

– The wiki-style Digital Library is build upon the MediaWiki software.

OceanTeacher Academy

• OceanTeacher is a comprehensive web-based training

system that supports Classroom training (face-to-

face), Blended training (combining classroom and

distance learning), online tutoring and online self-

learning.

• OceanTeacher has been developed as a training

system for ocean data managers (working in ocean

data centres), marine information managers (marine

librarians) as well as for marine researchers who wish

to acquire knowledge on data and/or information

management. In addition OceanTeacher is being used

for training in other related disciplines.

• When the Digital Library and OpenCourseWare are

used together for a training event this is called an

OceanTeacher Classroom. The collection of all

training instances constitutes the OceanTeacher

Academy.

The IOC and its IODE

• 1960: requirement for a structure to co-ordinate international oceanographic data exchange

• IOC-I, 1961: Working Group on Exchange of Oceanographic Data established:

– the facilitating of exchange of oceanographic data, the standardization of forms for reporting and coding data, the encouragement of the preparation of data catalogues, and the assistance of development of national oceanographic data centres

• Established in 1961 ‘to enhance marine research, exploitation and development by facilitating the exchange of oceanographic data and information between participating Member States and by meeting the needs of users for data and information products’

IODE Terms of Reference (2005)

• to facilitate and promote the exchange of all marine data and information including metadata, products and information in real-time, near real time and delayed mode;
