Abstract

The Second ODINCARSA Training Course in Marine Data Management was held in Cartagena, Colombia between 13 and 17 October 2003, hosted by the Centro de Investigaciones Oceanográficas e Hidrogáficas (CIOH). The course was attended by students from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador and Perú. The key objective of the training course was to establish a core group of trained data management instructors with the ability to teach the OceanTeacher system. A total of nine data managers were certified to provide future training for the ODINCARSA region. Four instructors were identified who could provide the training in both Spanish and English. The group discussed additional training material that could be included in OceanTeacher and agreed to provide a Spanish translation of OceanTeacher.
