End user guidelines: How to sign up and access the fish farm biosecurity course on Learn.ink

Abstract

Learn.ink is an online platform for digitized learning and training. Sharing digital content on mobile devices is important for efficient knowledge sharing and training to work with target community groups on a range of topics, such as fish epidemiological surveys, disease surveillance, fish sampling for disease diagnostics and better management practices for biosecurity. Using the Learn.ink platform, we aim to provide a more engaging digital learning experience for end users in situations where remote virtual training is necessary. The fish farm biosecurity course developed on the Learn.ink platform aims to provide guidance to end users on the appropriate biosecurity measures to prevent and control disease outbreaks. The modules cover a basic understanding of farm biosecurity, how to set up a biosecure farm in terms of facilities, processes and documentation, biosecurity measures in response to a disease outbreak and how to comply with the typical requirements of a biosecurity audit. The course can be used by field enumerators, extension workers, farmers, farm workers, service providers and students interested in the topic of biosecurity.

These guidelines provide the link for end users to access the fish farm biosecurity course on Learn.ink. After completing the course, users can continue to refer to the digital content for practical implementation of national biosecurity strategies or application of infrastructural changes or disease mitigation measures to the farm site.
