| Abstract Summary | Since its official launch in August 2025, Explora has significantly improved the discoverability and accessibility of DRI training events across the ecosystem. As of March 2026, 27 content providers have joined the platform, with over 500 live training sessions made discoverable over the past year, and more than 100 registered users. In this session, we will introduce Explora Phase II, which expands beyond event discovery to include training materials. We will highlight key developments, including the metadata framework, a controlled vocabulary for scientific topics, and new platform functionalities. The session will also include a brief walkthrough of how to register training materials in Explora. This work has been led by the Explora Working Group, with input and guidance from the National Training Coordination Council (NTCC). The session will be valuable for current content providers looking to better understand and make use of the latest features, as well as for potential providers interested in contributing to and engaging with the broader DRI training ecosystem. |
