W2B Video Transcripts - OCLO

Below is an outline of WES-2 Bridge Exercise videos associated with WDTD's FY18's AWIPS Fundamentals course.  Text transcripts (download and view in a text editor) as well as YouTube links with closed captions (only available on an internet-capable machine) are available for each video as reference for those with disabilities or as reference following practicing with these videos on WES-2 Bridge. The most important part of the training is to follow along with the same case and actually practice doing the tasks on WES-2 Bridge, so this page is not where RAC students take the training (only for reference)! Accompanying reference material for the entire course can be found at the RAC AWIPS Fundamentals page.
