This PSS is easy to use but some introduction is useful in finding your way around them, using them appropriately and interpreting their output. The following training materials can be used independently and are also used as part of our formal training courses.
DELIVERING TRAINING:
If you are delivering an agreed training course to others the process is as follows:
(0) Make sure that the computers being used have Firefox or Chrome, never run these systems in Internet Explorer. Use wired ethernet connections, not wireless. If you have to use wireless test running the system on it first. Many wireless networks are not suitable.
(1) We will switch training1 server below on one hour before your session. You should test your proposed training on that server or on www1 i.e. this link if it is not available.
(2) 30 mins before the training we will switch on the number of agreed servers
(3) Distribute each computer with a number from 2 upwards (use 1 for yourself)
(4) Have attendees click the server link below according to their number. It is very important that no more than one person accesses each account at once.
(5) When the login page appears attendees should login using the account username associated with their number below. The password is the same as the username.
(6) These training accounts will not work on the public (www1) servers.
(7) Inform us as soon as the training is over so we can switch off the servers, which we pay for by hour.
PRACTICALS:
A training session can be followed here [note that if you are not in a formal training course then you should login with URLs beginning with www1 instead of training1 etc]:
LEVEL 2:
PRACTICAL 1 Conservation trade-offs at the national scale for Colombia. Training slides (English) [opens in Google docs viewer].
PRACTICAL 2 Conservation trade-offs at the national scale for northern Borneo. Use Prac 1 training slides but focus on northern Borneo.
PRACTICAL 3 Impacts of recent land use change on ecosystem services in the Chaco. Training slides (English) [opens in Google docs viewer].
SERVERS FOR LEVEL 2:
If you are in a formal group training course (as opposed to self-paced working from the examples) here are links to the training servers (these do not function outside of training courses, use the usual www1 servers i.e. this link and your own account outside of formal training courses).
Training servers [for use in courses only]:
If you want to make use of pre-prepared simulations then login to testaccount1 on each of the training servers, if the trainer requests it.

SINGLE SERVER CONFIGURATION (C$N V.3)
Trainers have to ensure that the prepare data and start simulation steps are not done concurrently by all users as users will not be allowed to start another simulation when there are others running and memory levels fall below 60%. Trainers need to ensure that the prepare data step is done by only 2-3 trainees at once. Trainees also would need to wait to start their simulation until the running simulation completes and memory levels recover.
