Educators and students are challenged by the great potential of the Internet for delivering and sharing a large amount of information among a greater public, and by the possibility of creating alternative ...

Geographical Information Systems An Overview

Although many GIS have been successfully implemented, it has become quite clear that two-dimensional maps with most complex contours and color schema cannot precisely present multidimensional and dynamic spatial phenomena. Most GISs in use today have not been designed to support multimedia data and therefore have very limited capability due to the large data volumes, very rich semantics and ver...

An interactive learning environment for adaptive systems instruction

We have developed a new computer based learning environment to teach adaptive systems in the EE undergraduate curriculum. The learning environment is based upon an electronic book containing a hypertext document linked with a software simulator which runs interactive examples on-line, and is fully controlled by the student. This paper presents the concepts behind the project, its implementation...

E-learning Curricula Search in Geographical Information Systems and Science

This paper addresses the process leading to curriculum revision in post-graduate studies of GIS&Sc within the ISEGI-UNL. The project aims to determine an e-learning curriculum proposal, able to provide an answer to a set of challenges of different nature. The proposed framework suggests the need to consider the current process of curricular revision according to: the major reforms taking place ...
