Re: [talk-ph] Increasing demand for OSM talks and workshops

2014-04-25 Thread maning sambale
Dear everyone,

As a follow-up on this discussion.  ESSC in partnership with the
Humanitarian OSM Team, OSM Indonesia and WB will kickstart this idea.

The general plan is:
1. Develop a trainors training manual by consolidating existing
materials and experiences from previous training activities in teh
Philippines and Indonesia.
2. Run a TOT workshop for groups and individual interested to be a an
OSM trainor/facilitator.

More details soon.  Of course, we invite the whole community to
participate both in the development of the materials and the test run
itself.
Resources are limited for the test run training so if there a groups
interested to pool in resources do let us know.

Timeline: May-June 2014.

More ideas welcome.

Hi Maning *et al*,

The American Red Cross would love to partner with OSM-PH on any trainings
we develop and conduct. We've done OSM trainings before elsewhere and have
some materials and approaches that we can pull across to the Philippines.
If anything the Philippines is easier because English fluency is much
higher than many places we go.

We're on the verge of submitting our formal plan to get this done and then
we'll be working out the resourcing, so it could be some months.

One thing we try to do within the Red Cross is connect OSM to projects or
activities that National Societies do on a regular basis. This helps ensure
that the training gets used. We need to talk with the Philippines Red Cross
and identify some high-value use cases that we can plug OSM into. Dale
might be able to contribute more thoughts on that.

Cheers,
Robert

Re: [talk-ph] Increasing demand for OSM talks and workshops

2014-02-06 Thread maning sambale
Dear everyone,

Great discussion!

First, coming from a 4-day road trip from Leyte and Samar for our
internal assessment ~3 months after Yolanda, remote training is not
really the best option.
In many areas, 3g connection is non-existent so, we need to find ways
on how to do on site training under these conditions especially for
LGUs interested to use OSM.

Let me try to summarize the action points.  From the thread I see the
following activites we need to do.

1. Create a suite of materials for promotion and lightning talks about
OSM.  This will be used as basic intro to OSM, whenever a group
invites us to speak.
I created a stub github repo for this [0].  Feel free to add slides,
brochures and whatever materials you think is useful.

2. Design a training/workshop package which OSM trainors can use.
Possible content/module can be:
 - Basic overview to OSM
 - Basic data collection and editing workflow
 - Specific modules on using OSM depending on use cases (i.e. LGU,
NGO, DRR, etc.)

We (essc) have already developed an initial training design and
materials for our Pampanga project.  We can use this as an initial
draft of the modules.
We also have learnosm.org as another resource.  A major topic
mentioned here is how to collect data using smartphones, maybe this
will be one major content we need develop.

HOT-Id have more experience in doing OSM trainings, perhaps we can do
knowledge sharing with them as we develop the design and content?
@Kate, how can we do this?  What resources is needed?

American Red Cross is also planning to do OSM trainings. @Robert, any
possibilities on developing this together with OSM-PH?

3. Run a trainors training/workshop to interested OSM trainors.

4. Design a communication protocol to remotely support either the
local trainors or the participants after the conduct of training
(options mentioned are skype, mumble, teamviewer).  Or do follow-up
visits if possible?

Sounds like a plan!  Please add anything I missed.

Kate, I think that once the relationship has been built, that followup
using tools like TeamViewer is very practical. That app  has a some great
features, including group sessions, and is free for non commercial use, nd
I am sure there is other alternatives out there just as good.. We have used
Teamviewer as a training and support aid over the past year, but generally
after face to face sessions are done. being able to put a face to the
person on the other end of a remote session is still important IMHO

This leads into the next obvious step where the trainer becomes the Mentor
to a group of people. In the HOT environment, this person could become the
verifier for work done by his group, etc as the connection between
individuals has already been made and feedback on standards for tagging can
be easily communicated

Hi All,

We have faced similar challenged in Indonesia. Typically with our
trainings someone runs the powerpoint and talks at the front but then
we have other trainers around the trainees looking for problems and
providing help. There are also times we break into small groups. The
small groups can sometimes be limited by the lack of a way to show
everyone the instructors screen though. Typically we try to use two
projectors (I know a luxury) one shows the slides on the topic and the
other walks people through what to actual click.

How do you think doing remote training where an in person connection
has already been made? For example if participants had taken part in a
one or two day beginner class, but then could remotely receive
follow-up training? Perhaps having the initial face to face would
help.

I agree there would need to be a solid internet connection, but the 
bandwidth needed isn't that great, so interested parties would only need 
to get to a location where they could secure a reasonably reliable 
connection. In addition, a whole group of people could be sharing one 
client computer, so even if you're limited to 10 participants, that 
could be 10 small groups of people around the country.


The services I've used usually have some sort of slideshow presentation 
capability, have audio streaming for the presenter's voice, can do 
screen-sharing, for demonstrationg applications and techniques, and have 
a group chat facility where participants can ask questions. This all 
seems to work fine over a 1Mbit connection.




Also, I've noticed that Filipinos generally prefer face-to-face 
interaction. I've seen countless times where you ask the audience if 
they have any questions and nobody would raise their hands. But after 
the lecture is over, a few people would approach the lecturer and then 
ask questions. This kind of interaction would be hard to do online.
Point taken about the reticence of audiences here. I've held a few 
meetings here myself where its really hard to get input ... which has 
been the whole purpose of the meeting! But I think the group chat might 
actually encourage this. People actually seem to get braver when they're 
not putting their hand up in a roomful of people. Basically as the 
presenter is demonstrating something, questions appear in the group 
chat, and the presenter can address them when its convenient. It 
actually seems to work quite well. There are also options to send 
private messages by email which can be addressed in the Q&A session.


Anyway, just something to consider, and I'm just bouncing the idea around.

Re: [talk-ph] Increasing demand for OSM talks and workshops

2014-01-30 Thread Mark Cupitt
Eugene is 100% correct. I have conducted many training seminars in the
Philippines (previous life) and I have found that face to face is the most
effective. Additionally, it is a lot more effective with small groups. If
you had 20 participants, it would be better to split into two or three
smaller groups with separate trainers. The one on one personal interaction
is a lot more effective, team building is more effective and the transfer
of information and skills is more effective.

This is a cultural phenomenon . Most Filipinos are unwilling to ask
questions in a large group situation for fear of looking silly, unlike us
Aussies who have no fear of that (hee hee)

If I did have to present to larger groups, I always made myself available
afterwards for private questions. Generally there were a lot of people who
took up the opportunity or contacted me afterwards. It did detract form the
learning process.

The approach of a bigger Group for Introductions, splitting into smaller
groups for training and then bigger groups for closing also works well, or
simply conduct smaller groups on consecutive sessions and encourage
participants from earlier sessions to help in later sessions to reinforce
their learning. This is harder on the trainer, of course. If the
participants awe captive for a period of time, the groups finished could be
set a project to do whilst other sessions are on going.

Cheers

Mark

For online tutorials and demos, I think just posting videos to YouTube
would suffice. But for real-time workshops and lectures, the problem would
be the unreliable Internet connection.

Also, I've noticed that Filipinos generally prefer face-to-face
interaction. I've seen countless times where you ask the audience if they
have any questions and nobody would raise their hands. But after the

I am primarily a field mapper who is more interested on mapping remote

I am based in Manila but I may be able to assist interested mapping

We are looking to do such training with humanitarians in various areas. Andrew 
started a project with MSF in Democratic Republic of Congo where we will train 
field teams. 

Let's keep coordinated and assure we develop tools that can be reused elsewhere.


I suggest that we organize a meeting through Mumble with people interested by 
this subject to discuss and find ways to go on with these various trainings, 
adapted content to prepare, ways to train, including at distance.

Hi All,

I just wanted to mention if you see ways that HOT can help please let
us know. I think all of the ideas suggested so far have possibilities.

How would you all from the OSM-ph community feel about HOT hosting
some trainings? We typically haven't done much on the ground work in
the Philippines because the community is so strong. Currently we don't
have any firm plans to do such things (we would need funding to assist
us in travel and other costs), but it is a possibility. We of course
would inquire here first if any such thing happened.

Thanks,

Just thinking out loud here ... would it be possible to do tutorials or demos 
online, using web conferencing software? Then the geographical location becomes 
irrelevant. It defintely works for Slideshows and Q&A - I've done a few of them

Re: [talk-ph] Increasing demand for OSM talks and workshops

2014-01-29 Thread Mark Cupitt
Hi Maning Hi Eugene

I would be happy to promote, lecture, run or assist in workshops on OSM,
especially in the light of crisis/disaster relief efforts.

I am based in Dumaguete so could respond in Negros, IloIlo and Cebu!

I am not an experienced on line mapper (more on the programming WMS/map and
database side), but am Ok with ID and at 50% on Josm, so would would be
better suited to the introductory stuff and basic workshops. Advanced
training could be handled by more experienced people (I would attend :)
probably)

Cheers

Mark

Yes, if there is a chance to consolidate the requests we can do that too.
Even if there are no interested group of mappers outside of Manila, we
also need to look
for willing volunteers to travel if necessary.  I already got a
message of interest for one willing to travel to Vis/Min.

Hi maning,

Might it be more prudent if we can consolidate several of the requests into
1, preferably in Manila? Outside of Manila, there is no group of mappers
who are also interested in spreading the word or giving lectures,
workshops, and tutorials.

I think it would also help if we can create a PDF (brochure? presentation?)
of some sort to provide to these requesting groups as a basic introduction
to OSM. If they would like to learn more, then we can proceed with
coordination.

I'm interested in this. I've used OSM but I'm not that confident of skills
and a training of trainors would at least ensure that the basics are
covered.
