Presentations of good practices

The scientific committee welcomes presentations which demonstrate good practices in e-learning, such as examples of online courseware, online communication tools, and setup of virtual learning environments. Emphasis will be on typical e-learning objects in the field of Surveying, Geo-information Sciences and Land Administration. The scientific committee values presentations of good practices as an opportunity to stimulate discussions and exchange positive experiences.

Hands-on workshop

In addition to the presentations, a hands-on workshop session will be organised. The organisation strongly encourages participants to demonstrate and try out in practice new e-learning tools. In parallel sessions participants will be invited to demonstrate and/or participate in hands-on e-learning sessions. Computer facilities and support will be available. There will be discussions on the use of these tools in different educational settings and countries.
