Bioimage Analysis Training Resources


This resource consists of a collection of bioimage analysis training modules that have been used for several years to teach a number of courses.

The material is divided into small modules, where the teaching of each module should take about 30 minutes. Each module covers a specific aspect of image analysis. At the beginning of each module there is a list of modules containing prerequisite topics. At the end of each module there are suggestions of what could be taught next. This provides trainers guidance on how to combine modules into a longer workshop.

The modules are meant to be taught hands-on, i.e. following the teacher’s guidance, students execute the relevant steps in an image analysis software on their computers. The modules provide those steps for several major image analysis platforms, such as ImageJ GUI, ImageJ Macro, Python and Galaxy. Please see our teaching tips.

We are a community of developers and trainers and we welcome any kind of collaboration! Please see our contributors guide and get in touch by writing an issue.
