Information


The University of Ghent, Belgium and different institutions in Europe, Latin-America, Africa and Asia have decided to cooperate for the development and evaluation of new tools in modern education. The purpose of this CD-ROM is to test and evaluate the possibility of using modern information technology and multimedia tools in the preparation of aquaculture course material. Because of the expertise of one of the partners in this project the topic "Production and use of live food for aquaculture" has been chosen for this demo. This CD-ROM has been developed by the Laboratory of Aquaculture & Artemia Reference Center (Patrick Sorgeloos, Barbara Ooghe, Gilbert Van Stappen and Jef Peeters) and the Academic Computing Center (Geert De Soete, Michel Raes and Davy de Sloover) of the University of Ghent with the assistance of Vu Do Quynh (Shrimp and Artemia R&D Center, Can Tho University, Vietnam). Further testing and evaluation will be performed by aquaculture institutions in Ecuador, Chili, South-Africa, Zambia, Kenya, China, Vietnam, Oekraine, Norway and the Netherlands. This project has been funded by the Flemish government.
