Computers:
UNU Fellows receive computer training in:
- Report writing.
- Data interpretation.
- On-line reference search.
Each fellow is provided with a personal computer during training. All teaching material is available as electronical files on these computers and the
fellows can bring the files to their home countries for future work. Throughout the years there has been considerable transfer of computer technology from Reykjavik to geothermal
institutions in the developing countries.
eMission:
Fellows from the class of 2009 will have access to video clips of the introductory lectures through an e-learning facility. Each Fellow will be given an individual username and password
that will enable them to log on to a distant player with access to individual lectures.
The player can be accessed here.
Teaching material:
Most teaching is done by tutorials and practical work where the teacher works with two or three trainees and use is made of available textbooks and articles in journals. In some instances, however, a
special effort has been required to compile text material and manuals as teaching material for the training. Most of this teaching material has been generated by teachers of the Training Programme,
largely comprising staff members of ISOR, Orkustofnun (the National Energy Authority) and the University of Iceland. Also, texts have been written by visiting scholars from other
countries. The texts mentioned above have, in most cases, been published in reports. These are available from the Training Programme and some are available
on-line.
