Description:
Taking a look on previously e-learning developments on geoinformation science there are some observations:o Most of the projects were focused on creating teaching materials and tutorials that presented implementation techniques used in geospatial information about data acquisition, storage and processing;o Few projects concerned with experimentation and extensibility;o Few projects deal with the resources necessary in the creation of ability to develop Earth Observation applications: repositories of data, old archives, previously experiments, how to access, what formats, etc.Only few projects are however dealing with providing lessons on how to develop real case-based applications for Earth Observation using new information technologies and communications, but also geospatial technologies. Generally, each technology provider offers its users a lot of tutorials that illustrate better facilities products. But missing from the market, the e-learning programs that provide techniques and methods for developing applications real cases-based following the experience in using integrated heterogeneous data sources and processing chains appropriate technology products to solve their vital problems such as, for example, real time decision making on how to manage the natural resources, how to manage the groundwater management aspects in urban planning or real time decision making the as reaction to the appearance and / or preventing the consequences of natural phenomena.The architecture discussed in this paper aims to fill this gap using the latest concepts in the field of ICT combined with the latest technologies in Earth Observation applications with the latest concepts and techniques in the field of geospatial information management. The paradigm proposed here is to learn by doing.
