DeltaCAP Courses - BUET

This ToT activity takes a practical approach for capacity development, aiming at developing a training on ADM in close cooperation with the proposed trainers. This will be done by providing both content and an environment to work as a team to be able to meet the demands of the proposed trainers. The focus of the activity will be on capacity building for longer term planning and implementation, and improving the capabilities for integrated assessments and analyses, thus widening the scope for solutions and development of sustainable solutions in the delta.

Learning Objectives 

The overall learning objective of this training is to develop capacity for Adaptive Delta Management: longer term planning and integrated assessment. The training should lead to an increased operational understanding of decision makers and planners about longer term planning and integrated assessment, including:

• Improved practical decision making in view of socio-economic and environmental developments including climate change
  
• Improved understanding of BDP2100 and SDG in relation to delta management
  

The second learning objective is to enable the participants to develop a training on the subject for their own organisation and implement this training in order to improve the understanding of ADM within the various water management organisations.

After the training, participants should be able to:

• Translate sustainability criteria and uncertainty principles into operational delta management;
  
• Understand how long-term socio-economic and environmental developments influence decision-making at the short, medium and long term, and how present-day decision-making influences long term developments;
  
• Understand how non-stationarity and uncertainty can be used in decision-making including investment decisions;
  
• Understand the role of scenarios and models in long term adaptive planning;
  
• Integrate long term planning with policy preparation and decision-making;
  
• Understand how integrated assessments are needed to support long term planning;
  
• Initiate and coordinate integrated assessments; and
  
• Initiate and coordinate studies into development of measures that account for long term integrated planning.
  

Specifically for this training, participants should be able to initiate and coordinate a training programme within their own organisation.

How to use Technologies in my course?

Best practices of using the various technologies around and implementing them into your Moodle course.

Multimedia, Flash, Java, Video, Animation...

This course is intended to help you to learn the Moodle LMS (Learning management system) which is used to manage all the training courses and material of the DeltaCAP project. 

About Moodle

Moodle is a free and open-source software learning management system that is widely used by educators from around the world.  Developed on pedagogical principles,  Moodle is used for blended learning, distance education, flipped classroom and other e-learning projects in schools, universities, workplaces and other sectors.

With customizable management features, it is used to create private websites with online courses for educators and trainers to achieve learning goals. Moodle (acronym for modular object-oriented dynamic learning environment) allows for extending and tailoring learning environments using many community contributed add-ons. 

This course

This course is divided into two main areas: 

1. Teacher training - intended to help educators to become effective in using the system. 
2. Technical training - Covers essential technical information to manage a  Moodle course more effectively.

Discussion on Pedagogy with 

Course material for a 2 day hands-on training on UAV surveying. The instrument(s) used in this training are:

1. DJI Phantom 4 RTK

2. DJI D-RTK 2 station

Only some of the instructions are specific to these tools. Much of the content is applicable for UAV surveys in general. 

Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on Adaptive Delta Management (ADM) is a capacity-building training program designed for water professionals and academicians to address the Deltaic issues and challenges. This program focuses on the inclusion of ADM and its sustainability in macro-level policy planning (e.g., BDP-2100), strategy formulation, long-term planning and sustainable water management, application tools of ADM that can be used on the ground, and insights into decision making under uncertainty. It will help participants to increase operational understanding about longer-term planning and integrated assessment of socio-economic and environmental developments, including climate change. All educational resources will be available in the MOOC platform to support participants in completing the daily learning activities. The materials of this course consist of live lectures, short videos, readings, self-paced activities and group works.
