The course was initially developed in 2018 and had a big review in 2020 in order to be used in the data training workshops held at the time. The 2023 version has been reviewed, links updated and a new section addressing the provision of information about seabed habitats included.
This update was done as a collaboration between EMODnet Biology and Seabed Habitats, following the creation, in early 2022, of the document: “A standard approach to structuring classified habitat data using the Darwin Core Extended Measurement or Fact Extension”, which is available via the link.
Access to the course requires free registration in the Ocean Teacher platform and it is setup to be done at the learner’s pace with quizzes at the end of each section which, if successfully completed will provide the learner with a course certificate.
