NEW WEBSITE
The AQUALEX Multimedia Corporation (AMC) Ltd, has a new website up and running at http://www.aqualex.org
This charitable company was formed in 1996 in Dublin, Ireland, with a firmly stated purpose: to further educational advances in the aquatic
sciences by using and developing multimedia and other digital electronic tools.
There are four main sections to the website:
A PRODUCTS section, where finished products may be sampled. Demonstrations of three CD-ROMs are currently available: Aqualex, a multilingual interactive glossary of aquaculture terms; Basic Techniques in Fish Haematology; and BIAQUE, the bibliography of aquaculture/ environment interactions.
EDULINK will provide: conference announcements, news and views, links to other educational sites on the WWW, and downloadable documents of interest to the education/ training needs of users
The TRAINING section will in future be concerned with vocational training, or short courses. As part of the launch of the site, the AMC presents an online version of a Company Audit Training Manual designed to help young or struggling aquaculture companies to carry out a self assessment of their training needs.
EDUCATION will be devoted to longer courses targeted towards the higher education sector. Background information on the EU pilot project ONEDIN (Online Delivery of Interactive Modules in Marine Science and Aquaculture) is now available. Marine science materials will be tested on the site as and when they become available.
The site is still under construction, but will be developed steadily over
the next few months. We welcome feedback and suggestions from users. You can mail the site administrator at lisa@imbc.gr
