Summary

Develop a course and associated materials for delivery of national training course which addresses the issue of efficient and effective electronic data capture and adoption of eID technology for beef producers.

This course is designed for producers to increase their understanding of the technology, and data collection and analysis. Participants will develop the skills and confidence to effectively implement eID within their enterprise. The course will be structured to maximise knowledge retention, skills development and practice change. The program will involve professional facilitation of discussion groups, practice by doing, on-farm demonstration and teaching others.
