New Module Submission

Global BioImaging Training Platform is a community-driven resource consisting of training and informative material collected and curated by members of the imaging community for use by anyone interested in imaging and microscopy. The existing modules span a wide variety of topics ranging from imaging technologies and instrument operation to data management, image analysis & visualization, and core facility management.

The target audience for the Training Resource includes both imaging core facility staff and researchers utilizing imaging and microscopy in their research. Members of the imaging community are welcome and encouraged to submit modules to the Global BioImaging Training Platform, to be incorporated into the existing categories or a new category can be proposed at the time of submission.

Each of the modules consists of the following information:

1. Category selection (existing or new category)
2. General information about a module (module title, module description, target audience, intended audience, estimated time of completion, and keywords)
3. Main contents of a module

The material that is incorporated into a module needs to be publicly available.

There are 3 types of resources can be included as part of a module:

1. Video
2. PDF document
3. External weblink

Curation provides added value to a module. It is greatly encouraged and in some cases, description of resources such as videos, PDF documents, and external weblinks is mandatory and is requested as part of a submission form.

For example, topics that are covered in a video must be provided, main topic of a module must be defined, suggested reading must be provided, and so forth.
