May – October 2016 / Online
In the context of the CALMet Online 2016 workshop, hydro-meteorological trainers from around the world get together to share news and practices with experts in their field.
The event, held throughout the year, started in May with a set of bilingual webinars (English and Spanish) on the topic of making training sessions more active, followed by a second session in June on ‘Gamification’. In this session, experts Brad Snyder (EC/Meteorological Service of Canada) and Tsvetomir Ross-Lazarov (COMET, USA) discussed the effectiveness of using games as learning tools and ways of improving learner retention.
Future sessions will further explore the use of different existing and emerging tools for supporting the training of meteorologists.
