  • The resources shared in this Portal were developed by a large group of volunteers. Every effort has been made to contact potential copyright owners. If any have been inadvertently overlooked, we will be pleased to make the necessary arrangements at the first opportunity.

    The Trainer Resources Portal has been co-sponsored by the Eumetcal Programme, with additional generous donation of time by WMO/CGMS VLab and EUMETSAT, as well as other WMO training partners. 

    Want to talk about training resources or other training topics?

    We would love to hear how you have been using these and other training resources. We suggest having this conversation at the CALMet Commons . CALMet Commons is a community site for trainers from national meteorology and hydrology services. It contains a forum for questions and a blog for sharing success stories, resources, and other items of interest. For other questions and comments, or to report problems, contact tra@wmo.int.


  • Competency III

    Determine a learning solution

    Training resources available in this section explore the various decisions of teachers and trainers make in the early stages of planning training: learning formality, delivery modes, and learning strategies. The resources also describe the many criteria commonly used to choose between them.

    • Learning Solutions: Selecting Learning Formality and Delivery Modes

      Choosing the most appropriate learning solution (level of training formality), delivery mode (setting and logistical structures), and learning strategy (learning activity modes) for a specific training initiative includes examining the learning needs and constrains, as well as practical criteria and pedagogical values.  This resource, focused on the first two of these decisions, can guide you in this process.

    • Advantages and Disadvantages of Three Categories of Delivery Modes

      This document  summarizes some commonly cited advantages and disadvantages of training delivery modes, for example, classroom training versus online training. The list is in part derived from discussions in past WMO Online Courses for Trainers.

    • Learning Strategies

      Learning strategies, or learning methods, are general approaches to training that instructors can use to guide their lesson plans. Learning strategies more or less relate directly to specific learning theories. 

    • Selecting Learning Strategies

      After you have made decisions about the learning solution and delivery mode, you can begin to focus more on the actual training—what learners will do during the training to help them achieve the learning outcomes you decided were necessary. This resource examines some of the criteria you can use to help decide which strategies to use.  

    • Why use blended learning?

      Blended learning, or the combination of a variety of learning solutions, strategies, activities, and interaction modes, can create a learning experiences that offers more ways of learning and more flexibility for learners to apply their learning in a variety of ways.

    • An Overview of Distance Learning for Decision Makers

      Implementing a sustainable distance learning program involves careful consideration of many factors, such as the choice of course design, demands on staff time and resources required, to mention just a few. This resource discusses the reasons organisations are choosing distance learning solutions, and presents an overview that will support decisions about implementing distance learning in national and international education and professional training institutions.

    • Conversion to Distance Learning Through Reverse Engineering

      Use Reverse Engineering to analyze the outcomes, design, and goals of an existing course to aid in your planning to move to distance learning.

    • Worksheet for Determining Learning Solutions

      This worksheet can help you to make decsions to determine the most appropriate learning solution for a training initiative. It includes the possible criteria you should consider when taking this decision, including learning formality, delivery mode and learning strategy, helping you to keep a record of your reasoning.

    • Examples

    • Selecting Learning Solutions Example 1: Aeronautical Forecaster Training

      In this example, a learning solutions analysis was conducted when planning training for aeronautical forecasters. The analysis was done using the three types of criteria presented in the resource Selecting Learning Solutions: practical, learning needs and pedagogical values.
