Objective
Demand for marine science courses has risen sharply as the decline in wild fisheries resources has shown the need for rational stock management. The increasing demand for marine products has stimulated the growth of the European aquaculture industry, typified by SMEs and mostly located in remote areas. To build up and maintain a flexible and innovative workforce, the industry must have access to a wide-ranging syllabus incorporating studies on the marine environment, fish biology and environmental aspects.
The project will develop access to relevant training opportunities by means of specially designed open and distance learning marine science and aquaculture modules. Course materials in identified areas of need (marine environment, fish morphometrics, fish behaviour and nutrition, fish genetics) will be adapted for delivery on the Internet. Four modules will be presented on a specially-constructed world wide web site (with two accompanying CD-Roms). The modules will be tested with users from the vocational and the tertiary sector who will be supported by tutors at each location, for feedback and to monitor progress. User data will be collected from the website and an analysis of user behaviour made in the final report.
Impact
The project will considerably influence future training policies and strategies throughout Europe, and groups disadvantaged by their remoteness will be enabled to overcome at least part of this handicap.
