| IMARK Subject Areas |
|
IMARK covers several major subject areas in agricultural information management in order to respond to the needs of information professionals. IMARK seeks to provide an interactive self-paced learning environment addressing each area in which information professionals can learn new concepts, approaches and attitudes for effective information management. Learners can create a tailored course by designing their own Personal Learning Path.
Visit the module list page to see what subject areas are covered. All modules are or will be produced in five languages: English, French, Spanish, Arabic and Chinese. |
