## Introduction

Tutorial videos and serious games are powerful tools that move education beyond passive reception to **active engagement, deeper understanding, and practical application, making learning more effective and enjoyable for a broader audience**

<figure><img src="image_10.png" /></figure>

* Produce digital innovative resources for **easy, quick and effective learning** on atmospheric science

* Simplify complex concepts, instruments and atmospheric research infrastructure services by presenting them in interactive, visual ways

* Provide a flexible **sustainable** training service, designed to be **long-lasting** and contribute to both economic and environmental sustainability

* Diffuse knowledge beyond the borders offering **free, open and accessible** learning opportunities for everyone

**Interactive tutorial videos (Voice: **UK**) Subtitles: **UK** (UK)

## High-resolution online quantification of trace metals in particulate matter using the Xact®

**Instructor & Presenter: Khanneh Wadinga Fomba**

<figure><img src="image_11.png" /></figure>

This 15-minute tutorial presents the Xact instrument, **designed for high-resolution, online quantification of trace metals in particulate matter (PM).** The instructor takes you inside the instrument and guides you step-by-step through its powerful and intuitive software

<figure><img src="image_12.png" /></figure>

**This video covers:**

* ✓ The importance of **trace element analysis**

* ✓ **Key features** of the Xact instrument

* ✓ A deep dive into the **ADAPT software** for data analysis

* ✓ **Real-time quantification** for better insights into airborne trace metals

## A Step-by-Step Tutorial Video for the Time Series Analysis in ATMO-ACCESS

**Presenter: Hannah Clark**

<figure><img src="image_13.png" /></figure>

This 14-minute video guides you into the **ATMO-ACCESS Time Series Analysis service**. Hannah Clark, from IAGOS, shows the exact steps to successfully **access & process data** from three atmospheric research infrastructures (ACTRIS, IAGOS, and ICOS) and **generate desired plots**

<figure><img src="image_14.png" /></figure>

**In this tutorial video, you will learn easily how to:**

* ✓ Use the ATMO-ACCESS time series analysis service

* ✓ Search, analyse, visualise, and compare observational data and essential climate variables

## VolcPlume Portal tutorial video
**Instructor & Presenter: Marie Boichu**

<figure><img src="image_16.png" /></figure>

In this 10-minute video, you'll learn how to **detect and analyse volcanic plumes** using integrated satellite, ground-based remote sensing, and in situ observations. The instructor provides **clear instructions**, guiding you through precise steps on the VolcPlume platform

<figure><img src="image_17.png" /></figure>

**This comprehensive video:**

* ✓ Offers practical **step-by-step illustrations** of the platform's applications

* ✓ Explore a **real-case eruption study** from La Palma Island

* ✓ Is a resource for atmospheric dynamics and hazards research!

**"What's going on in the air?"**

The **What's going on in the air?**" serious game is taking place at ATOLL observatory. It is a dynamic learning experience designed to enhance engagement and motivation. This interactive and informative tool simplifies complex concepts, facilitating learning "by doing" in a real case study.

<figure><img src="image_20.png" /></figure>

<figure><img src="image_21.png" /></figure>

**Goal of the game**

* Investigate observed abnormal measurements on aerosol properties in the air above Lille.

* Solve the puzzle and find out what causes this anomaly. Where do these aerosols come from?

* Calculate the aerosol concentration in the air, based on real measurements
