- Photonics Wiki
-
The photonics wiki is an online textbook covering the major science content relevant to CMDITR researchers. It also has professional development articles and links to K-12 educational materials, videos and simulations. Eventually this content will be available through the National Science Digital Library
- Responsible Conduct of Research
-
This web-based certification consists of three modules: Rights and Obligations; Collaboration, Communication, and Grants Management; and Intellectual Property. All CMDITR participants are required to complete these tutorials, which they can access from the Members Only website.
