Dear CALMeters,
- 10-14 October 2016 - Using a New Plug-in for Moodle to Build a Meteorology Simulation
- 10-13 October 2016 - Eumetcal Workshop
Dear CALMet Onliners,
it is a pleasure to welcome you to the this CALMet online week connected to the XI Eumetcal workshop, which starts on Monday 10 October till Thursday 13 Oct, in Langen, Germany.
BACKGROUND: the objective of Eumetcal workshop this year is to provide trainers of NHMSs with a framework to explore ways the training community can assist the NHMSs to address the aspect of communication, particularly with customers and end-users. Changes in communication are and will be triggered by different drivers: for instance the shift of focus towards impact-based forecasting, WMO Competency Frameworks, different end-user requirements, etc. Since these changes will reflect on the skills of meteorological staff, thus producing training needs, the intervention of the training community is required.
WHAT WE EXPECT FROM CALMETERS: since you have access to the XI Eumetcal Workshop page from within the CALMet Online page, you can:
Looking forward to seeing you actively contribute to this Eumetcal Workshop and establish a connection between the two communities: CALMet and Eumetcal!

Dear all,
We are excited to be contributing to the CALMet facilitation this week and welcome you to participate in our session on the Meteorology Simulator plug-in.
The Meteorology Simulator plug-in is a Moodle Activity module which can be installed on your Moodle to allow you to build simulator case studies from within your Moodle course.
Our live session will take place on Thursday 13th October at 09:00 UTC when we will present the background behind the plug-in and show how it can be used. We welcome any questions during the webinar and of course in the discussion forum, before or after the webinar.

Dear, all,
thank you very much for participating in this sessionof CALMet Online connected to the XI Eumetcal Workshop.
The idea was to have you exposed to the topics and content of the workshop, and also participate in the forum discussion about ideas produced by G. Fleming's (Met Éireann) and F. Radjab (BKMG) recorded talks. Many of you did browse the XI Eumetcal workshop page and added comments in the forum discussion: that was great!
The Eumetcal workshop ended yesterday Thursday 13 October. As you recall the main topic was communication, specifically what training shall be developed to assist NHMSs in developing skills of their meteorologists to improve the communication with customer and end-users.
After the intensive workshop I would summarize to you the following two main messages from the training community:
Thank you for everything!
Alessandro
