1 The GITTA Project Active and Self-Controlled Web Based Education in
Institute of Cartography ETH Zurich Switzerland M.Werner / B.Stern Active and Self-Controlled Web Based Education in GIS-Technology and Cartography: The GITTA Project

3 Production Requirements of WBT
Institute of Cartography ETH Zurich Switzerland different way of conveying learning matter spatial & temporal barrier expires enables an individual scheduling of the day avoids teaching of redundant content allows easier & cheaper learning experience posts new demands onto the instructor Learning with WBT 1840 Distance- learning 1960 Learning with Computers 1990 Internet- technologies Web Based Training a didactical design special text writing style for e-learning platform- & graphic design of the face programming close collaboration & Production Requirements of WBT social competence of all colleagues

4 Idea Supplement & partial substitution of the actual GIS
Institute of Cartography ETH Zurich Switzerland Idea Supplement & partial substitution of the actual GIS education by internet based learning modules Cooperate realisation together with 11 partners Modular organisation with 3 levels Flexibility Multimedia dedication with an obvious surplus value, instead of conventional teaching methods The students get the possibility to discover GIS concepts interactively on their own

5 Assignment of the Institute of Cartography
Institute of Cartography ETH Zurich Switzerland Organisation Assignment of the Institute of Cartography GITTA is built up by 6 modules: Case Study Database Systems Spatial Modeling Data Presentation Spatial Analysis Data Capture GI Systems Advanced Intermediate Basic

6 Institute of Cartography ETH Zurich Switzerland
Concept Didactical concept based on the ECLASSS teaching structure Content summary of a field of knowledge Deals with a subject matter Deals with a subchapter Conversion of the didactic considerations in an XML-structure Why XML? Form and content stays apart Generation of various data formats ( HTML, PDF, RTF, ...) Independence in choice of an e-learning platform Predefined Structure ( *.dtd) - all GITTA partners work on the same basis

7 Institute of Cartography ETH Zurich Switzerland
Realisation The Institute of Cartography addresses itself to the following tasks: Gathering cartographic data ( texts, workflows, maps, examples,...) Allocating the content to the lessons Subdividing the information to the units Writing content for e-learning, adapted to the ECLASSS structure Making illustrations, images, animations & interactions available Implementing content into XML structure Evaluating Updating Generally: designing and arranging the interface

8 Institute of Cartography ETH Zurich Switzerland
Examples ... ... taken from the basic level of the 'Data Presentation' module: 1. Presentation and Visualisation Needs Demand for Maps Specially Ordered Maps Legal Order Maps Visualisation of Spatial Data Map Types 2. Layout Design Settings / Graphical Semiology Map Size and Scale Definition and Organisation of Map Elements Typographic Design Colour Design Readability Rules 4. Generalisation of Map Data Generalisation Concepts Generalisation Procedures Generalisation Methods 3. 5. Cartographic Data Representation Map Conception Map User Needs Topographic Cartography Notion and Intentions Content of Topographic Maps
