Community NextGen Tools and Frameworks Training and Documentation
Research Team Members
Objective:
The project goal is to create and deliver comprehensive training materials and documentation for NextGen tools, including NextGen, NGIAB, Data Access, DataStreamNextGen-connected models like CFE and T-Route, and coding standards for computational hydrology.
Approach:
This project will assess community training needs related to the development and use of NextGen and related tools. We will then develop and deliver training modules to address those needs. Finally, we will assess the value and impact of those training modules and improve them as needed.
Impact:
This project will result in more community members who can use and contribute to NextGen and related tools. It will also help accelerate research outcomes through improved collaborative tools, streamline workflows for hydrological modeling, and increase publication output.Abstract:
The goal of this UA/CUAHSI collaborative project is to create and deliver comprehensive training materials and documentation for NextGen tools, including NextGen, NextGen In a Box (NGIAB), Data Access, DataStream, NextGen-connected models like CFE and T-Route, and coding standards for computational hydrology. To address the goal, we propose five objectives: (RO1) Needs Assessment and Audience Profiling, (RO2) Content Development, (RO3) Accessibility and Dissemination, (RO4) Ongoing Updates and Maintenance, (RO5) Evaluation and Impact Assessment. To achieve these objectives, we will engage with the community through surveys and outreach to gather information, develop appropriate training and documentation content, and disseminate it through a website, webinars, workshops, and the annual CIROH Developer Conference. By developing and providing training and documentation through various formats, the broader impacts of this project will be to increase the number and diversity of researchers, developers, and users who can participate in the CIROH ecosystem.
