WG Correspondence

Our mission:

This working group aims to monitor and assess the ongoing developments in Web-based education with paricutlar interest and relevance to remote sensing and photogrammetry. The WG has been established in close cooperation of TC VI WG 2 ‘E-learning’. During the previous ISPRS four year period, e-learning was covered in just one working group but due to the growing awareness and influence of e-learning in education and training, it was felt that two working groups may be appropriate. Both working groups will work in very close cooperation over the next four years, but with each area of interest defined, following and supporting the resolution of TC VI/ WG2 2008: • The development and use of innovative techniques including multimedia visualisation to be encouraged • Public domain education software and web pages continue to be developed

Terms of Reference:

• Encourage and monitor the use of open source material for web based education
• Assessment of didactics/teaching methods to engage students in web-based teaching
• Monitor modern trend in teaching: blogs, podcast, RSS feeds, social networking, Wiki
• Assess availability and suitability of coursework software for web-based education
• Promote the use of web tools for teaching, such as Wiki, courseware (software) and other tools for web based training and education
• Collection and cataloguing of tools for web based training
• Teaching requirements for e-learning

• ISPRS Workshop Commissions VI/1 - VI/2 E-Learning Tools, Techniques and Applications
