IWRM Tutorial
For Cap-Net, a capacity building network for Integrated Water Resources Management, we built an online tutorial on the basics of IWRM. The tutorial includes small flash animations; video, panorama views and flash slideshows and has been made adaptable to different contexts. Text is split into easy-to-read sections, with "read more" pop-ups that contain additional info for the interested user. The tutorial includes ingenious Visual Basic programming that enables users to go through it step by step, take small side-steps, but always return back to the original location in the main flow of the tutorial. To see an online version of the tutorial or order the CD, please visit www.cap-net.org.

Drainage training package
For the World Bank, we produced, designed and tested a training package on the basis of research recently conducted by the World Bank, with the title of "Reclaiming Drainage; toward an integrated approach" The package included 5 modules, on different elements involved in implementing drainage from an IWRM perspective. Each module includes a powerpoint presentation and a booklet with explanatory notes. We tested the package with a group of international professionals during the yearly ILRI drainage course, and held focus-group interviews to review the package and derive possible improvements.
