<div dir="ltr"><div><div>HI Folks, There have been a few emails and comments about training. Some people are creating training documents (You are awesome!) Building on Claire's and the Training Working Group's efforts, I woke up thinking about how to help some. Truly, the comments last night from Senior Mappers were important. I really think that we as a community can help the Activation with some ideas. To help with the collaborative training, I posted this Hackpad. It should be editable and viewable by all.* The goal would be to add this to the wiki and/or blog once more firm. <br><br>Collaborative Training Space: <br><a href="https://hackpad.com/HOT-Nepal-Training-Support-3GupUkChA1n">https://hackpad.com/HOT-Nepal-Training-Support-3GupUkChA1n</a><br></div><div>(edit freely)<br></div><div><br></div><div><b>Some ideas:</b><br><br><div class="" id="magicdomid2415"><ol start="1" class=""><li><span class="">Training

what if we held a Google Unhangout** online session? This would record
to Youtube and help in the interim for new mappers until the training
docs improve and, as Pierre mentioned, there were tool improvements.</span></div><div class="" id="magicdomid45"><span class="">How a Google/Unhangout works: </span></div><div class="" id="magicdomid2136"><span class="">MIT
set up Unhangout free and OS for those who dont use Google. I host
frequent online interviews on Google Hangout. It records to Youtube. If
there were 1-2 Senior mappers willing to assist, we could host it
today or tomorrow for a 30 min session. This is instant video sharing
showing issues with screens. </span></div><div class="" id="magicdomid2138"><br></div><div class="" id="magicdomid2147"><span class="">Helpers:</span></div><div class="" id="magicdomid2170"><span class="">Suggested Date/Times</span></div><div class="" id="magicdomid39"><br></div>4.
