The RSTC (Rice Specialists' Training Course) courseware, which this blogger is heavily involved in its development, is now taking shape. The Lesson Plan (print component) is around 90% complete, while the Powerpoint supplement for each Lesson is now being prepared.
As of this posting, the RSTC courseware on PalayCheck portion has 9 modules representing each Key Check in the system plus a module on the general concepts, principles and practices of the PalayCheck system.
As envisioned, the Courseware shall include Social Tech component and PalayCheck-related modules like the state of rice industry, morphology of rice, biomass utilization, climate change and other relevant issues in rice industry development.
Aside from this blogger's involvement in the overall development process of PhilRice courseware, he is particularly working on RSTC component as co-author of the Lesson on Harvest and Postharvest Technologies (being a former Postharvest bureau's training officer of DA). He is also assigned to prepare the Powerepoint supplement for Key Check 2 (Land Preparation), Key Check 5 (Nutrient Management), Key Check 6 (Water Management), and Key Check 8 (Harvest and Postharvest Technology).
It is hoped that the maiden edition of the Courseware shall be made available before the current batch of RSTC graduate on October 29, 2010. They will be the recipients of the first edition, and shall also serve as the test group to field-validate such courseware. (JSF Blogs)
