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.







Foster, et. al.              Informational                      [Page 2]

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.




Foster, et. al.              Informational                      [Page 3]

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 "[email protected]" 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.

5. Network Training Materials

  This section contains the completed templates of network training
  material, as received by the publication date of this document.  The

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-



Foster, et. al.              Informational                     [Page 45]

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:

          [email protected]

  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.








Foster, et. al.              Informational                     [Page 46]

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

  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.
