Description

This three-part series shares the training best practices used by NASA's Applied Remote Sensing Training program (ARSET). These skills will enable participants to develop their own online or face-to-face remote sensing trainings for their organization or community of practice. This webinar series provides best practices on how to: 

  • Build a remote sensing training program
  • Perform effective outreach for trainings
  • Put together and deliver quality presentations
  • Communicate effectively with both scientific and nonscientific audiences

Prerequisites

Objectives

By the end of this training attendees will be able to:
