7-May-02Robert Weibel & Eric J. Lorup Content 1.Motivation, Objectives, and Characteristics (Weibel) 2.Didactical and Technical Design (Lorup) 3.Conclusions and Outlook (Lorup)

7-May-02Robert Weibel & Eric J. Lorup Motivation Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are a core technology for the spatial sciences today. Interdisciplinary field where education could obviously benefit from a collaboration between educational institutions. GIS education mainly takes place in core disciplines (geography, geomatics/surveying, computer science). Increasing interest by students from other spatial sciences (biology, env. sc., earth sc.) capacity problems As an IT field, GIS technology naturally lends itself to e-learning.

7-May-02Robert Weibel & Eric J. Lorup GITTA Partners 7 schools, 11 departments: State universities: Zurich (Lead), Fribourg Federal schools: ETHZ, EPFL UAS: FHBB, HSR, SUPSI KOGIS (federal admin) Duration: –

7-May-02Robert Weibel & Eric J. Lorup Key Characteristics Large consortium State universities, ETHZ/EPFL, UAS Consortium partners offer > 85% of capacity in GIS higher education in Switzerland Interdisciplinary: natural sciences, engineering, partially social sciences Multilingual

7-May-02Robert Weibel & Eric J. Lorup Objectives Gather diverse and geographically scattered knowledge in a coordinated virtual campus for GIS teaching, nationwide Exploit synergies, eliminate redundancies between partners Integrate GITTA modules in regular curricula to complement traditional teaching Replace ex-cathedra teaching by e-learning, where possible Use teachers capacity primarily for coaching (face- to-face) Extend seat capacity, primarily in practicals Promote case-based teaching Stimulate and foster students independence in the learning process

7-May-02Robert Weibel & Eric J. Lorup Course Structure Covers multiple courses (3 semesters) Response to different needs –universities/ETH vs. UAS –theory vs. practically oriented teaching Modular design of course structure –Basic level: 4 credits, same for all participating institutions –Intermediate level: 4 out of 6 credits –Advanced level: specialized modules –Case studies: practically oriented, case-based teaching; various modules that can be used as practicals or stand-alone

7-May-02Robert Weibel & Eric J. Lorup GITTA Course Structure Methods and Techniques Levels and Modules

7-May-02Robert Weibel & Eric J. Lorup What helped and what didnt What helped: –project started in Phase II of SVC !!! –IT-related subject, graphics-oriented (maps!) –personnel is used to interdisciplinary work well versed in web technologies (!) used to software development is highly motivated What didnt help: –recruiting problems initial delay of 3 months

7-May-02Robert Weibel & Eric J. Lorup Didactical Design Design Structure: Levels (e.g. Basic Level) Modules (e.g. Basic Spatial Analysis) Lessions (e.g. Distance metrics) Units (e.g. Euclidean distance) - Entry - Clarify - Look - Act - Share - Self-assess UNIT = smallest learning object

7-May-02Robert Weibel & Eric J. Lorup From Didactical to Technical Design XML –Clear separation of content and form –DTDs represent didactical structure (ECLASS) –XSL/XSLT (stylesheets) allow flexible formatting of output (HTML, PDF, RTF, WAP,...) Technical infrastructure for authors –User friendly templates for content development –XMetaL, XMLSpy, Word,...
