Hi Niyanta,
I have collected a few resources on our website, so that I can refer our
users to it more easily. This is at
https://www.bioimaging.bmc.med.uni-muenchen.de/learn/Have a look at "Educational Websites" and "Materials for teaching".
Maybe you find something helpful. The listed page from Australia (was
mentioned by others too) contains a quiz that you can take, and you can
print out a certificate if you answer 8+ of 10 questions correct.
As in terms of hands on training, we start with a 3 h introduction
session for up to 3 people. Usually with our samples, for two reasons.
First, we want the user to pay attention to the microscope and software,
not on the biological content of the images we make. Second, this way we
can be sure that the sample is all right and we don't have users with
crappy samples blaming it on the microscope. I agree with others that
after 3 hours it makes no more sense, brains are full.
Next we do a 'guided session' with the user's sample that we accompany
until the user is getting good results. This is 1:1. Depending on sample
difficulty, prior knowledge and user talent we sometimes have a third
session.
I am impressed by Sylvie's approach, but I doubt our group leaders would
be willing to come up with so much money for training. Some think what
we do now is already too time consuming (but most are happy about it).
