Complementary training on contemporary positioning using a website based application

Author
Organization
Abstract
The Geography department, Ghent University, develops an ICT tool for an interactive website based training on contemporary positioning. The project aims to stimulate an active learning attitude offering students means of self-stud-8-with integrated permanent evaluation. By choosing the subject as broad as "contemporary positioning", a wide range of users is aimed. The e-learning tool is adaptable for training at different levels of higher education. Different learning trajectories specified for different groups of students are outlined. The project offers three modules: geodetic coordinate systems, map elements and introduction to GIS. Other modules, such as GPS, geodesy, cartography and remote sensing are under development. The student starts with a multiple choice test to guide him through the different modules at his proper pace and knowledge. Besides theoretical concepts, the students are offered a series of practical examples and exercises. Each module ends with an evaluation, combining multiple choice tests, calculations with automated feed-back and open questions.
