"Development and use of e-learning modules as an instrument of training in environmental protection in Brazil" focus Pollution Management (2005/2006)

The e-learning course has been tested with Brazilian experts. The course consists of several successive modules. An attempt was made to incorporate practice-relevant elements in the course:

• Working with case studies
• Pictures
• Videos
• Forum for FAQ

At the end of the course, participants can test the knowledge.
