= SELES 100 level modules: introduction and basics = Here are a series of tutorials grouped into 'modules'. Each modules consists of a set of lessons. Each lesson should take approximately 1 hour, and includes some lecture material, exercises and a quiz.

MODULE 101: The Basics
In this tutorial you will learn how to run models in SELES.

Lesson 1. SELES Overview and Landscape Modelling
Tutorial 1.1 Andrew's Welcome

Tutorial 1.2 What SELES can and cannot do

Tutorial 1.3 Where does SELES fit compared with other modelling tools?

Lesson 2. The Model Simulator Interface
Tutorial 2.1 Starting SELES

Tutorial 2.2 Running Value Models (html)

Tutorial 2.2 Running Value Models (get Flash plugin) (Flash tutorial includes audio.)

MODULE 102: Model Exploration
In this module you will learn run and modily a simple model in SELES.

Lesson 1. Overview of a Simple Patch Model

Lesson 2. Data exploration and running the Simple Patch Model

Lesson 3. Under the hood: what's inside the Simple Patch Model

Lesson 4. Patch Model Output: Landscape Metrics

Lesson 5. Patch Model Output: Animation

= MODULE 200 level modules: intermediate modelling techniques = These modules are still in the planning stages.

= MODULE 300 level modules: advanced techniques and applications =

These modules are still in the planning stages. Maybe after this fall's SELES course we'll have a better idea what should go here.
