Abstract: The GBIF 3rd Year Review included a clear statement on the future of training in GBIF:
'Other recommendations for training are to develop distance learning training
approaches, and to identify organisations with similar goals with which GBIF can plan and
run training activities together'. In line with this recommendation, the GBIF Secretariat
would like to reinforce GBIF's distant learning capacity with a new electronic learning
(eLearning) facility called the GBIF Virtual Classroom.
The creation of this Task Group on eLearning is related to that and seeks the involvement
of the GBIF Community. The activities of the Task Group started officially on the 26th of
February, 2010. Maurice Martens, from The Netherlands, was nominated as the Chair of
the Task Group on the 16th of March. The components of the Task Group (from now on TG)
are:
• Balde, Oumar - nominated by SINEPAD
• Encinas, Maria - nominated by Spain
• Martens , Maurice - nominated by the Netherlands
• Norton, Geoffrey - nominated by Australia
• Talukdar, Gautam - nominated by India
