This document describes Project RESNET, which aims to create online learning modules focused on renewable energy resources for landscape development. Specifically, it will: 1. Create a pilot e-learning course consisting of five online modules on solar, water, wind, geothermal, and biomass energy. 2. Produce study materials in the form of a CD-ROM and online guides for tutors and students to facilitate the use of the online course. 3. Target the courses at employees in the agricultural sector to improve their knowledge and competence in applying renewable energy technologies economically and ecologically.
