A note to all trainers, especially:
The Watershed Academy invites all
interested trainers to freely use Watershed Academy Web
materials in your teaching. With few exceptions (e.g., copyrighted graphics
can only be reproduced with permission), our modules are in the public
domain and may be downloaded, reproduced, and modified for your own use.
This information is presented in a style that is not heavily academic
in order to reach the broadest audience possible. Nevertheless, these
peer-reviewed lessons are based in sound watershed science and practice
and can be supplemented with more technical readings if a more academic
treatment of the subject is desired.
The set of Watershed Academy Web
modules contains enough basic presentation and reading material for
a two-semester long course introducing the basics of watershed management.
It can also be used for shorter courses (especially the 15 core modules).
Please feel free to follow the sequence of Watershed Academy Web
themes and modules as the curriculum for a course you offer, either
in its entirety or in combination with materials of your own. Internet
availability allows your students access to the modules as homework
assignments for a normal lecture course. Or you might prefer to use
Watershed Academy Web as an entirely Internet-based distance
learning course for a group of students who may never meet in one place.
Whatever your teaching plans, please contact the Watershed
Academy and let us know how you are using Watershed Academy
Web materials. Suggestions for future improvements based on
your experience are always welcome. Watershed Academy Web Brochure You may download a brochure called Watershed Acdemy Web: Training in Watershed Management Fundamentals which describes the Web-based training courses of Watershed Academy to help explain the Web modules to your students. You will need a plug-in application called Adobe Acrobat Reader in order to download the file.
