Catalogue of Network Training Materials
Produced as a collaborative effort by the Joint IETF/TERENA(RARE) Network Training Materials - Working Group (TRAINMAT)
Status of this Memo
This memo provides information for the Internet community. This memo does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
Abstract
The purpose of this document is to provide a catalogue of quality Network Training Materials for use by Internet trainers in training their users. 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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

This document was very much a collaborative effort of the members of the Trainmat WG and was initially based on the catalogue of network training resources put together by Margaret Isaacs in December 1992 as part of an initial study for the UK Mailbase ITTI Network Training Materials Project.
Special thanks are due to the following contributors who took the time to submit or update the templates contained in this document.
Adams, Phil Anagnostelis, Betsy Brack, Verity Ciolek, T. Matthew Dunlop, Angela Foster, Jill Hamilton, Deborah Hiom, Debra Isaacs, Margaret Kessler, Gary Kramer, Stefan Mann, Dawn Norman, Frank Prior, Mark Salamon, Andras Scales, Walter Sellers, Jennifer Shepstone, Jon Teskey, Patrick Van Uytven, Herman Ward, Carol Wright, Emma F.
Mark Prior made the catalogue available as a WWW document and made provision for updates to be submitted via a web form.
Prior to submission of the final draft version of this catalogue, each template was checked, standarised and updated by Margaret Isaacs. Emma Wright, Walter Scales and Jon Shepstone, of the Netskills Team, also contacted each Resource's Contact or Author (where possible).
In the additional information sections omit any data elements where no data exists.
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.
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:
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:
catalogue@connect.com.au
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
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.
A description of the item giving, where possible, its scope and intended audience. This could be an abstract. If a short form of the title was entered under "Title:", the long form of the title should be included here. Fields continued on the next line should be indented by at least one white space.
Additional information for a document accessible via Email. This is the email address of the mail server serving the item. It must be in RFC 822 format, for example:
Additional information for a network accessible document. A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is a standard way of describing its location and access method. This has been defined by the IETF. The easiest way of describing a URL is by a few examples:
Short description of the additional requirements for using/viewing this item. For example, a CBL learning package might run only on a PC with a specific configuration.
The date this catalogue entry was last changed or modified. (See note 3.17 on the date format.) This item is added automatically when using the form on the World Wide Web.
