The document describes learning materials available from the Generation Challenge Programme (GCP) including online modules covering topics like genomics, comparative genomics, marker assisted breeding, bioinformatics, genetic resources policies, and principles of plant breeding. The materials are intended as teaching resources or self-tutorials for scientists and students with limited access to classes, scientists looking to update their knowledge, teachers, and the general public. The modules can be accessed online or downloaded as CDs upon request and are aimed to be interactive for teaching and self-paced learning.
