GILA Event - Round Table
Effective Strategies for Implementing e-learning on GeoInformatics

e-Learning is an emerging tool in GI education. It provides the opportunity of teaching topics to distributed students, sharing resources and offering high-quality teaching with reduced costs. However, many e-learning projects face some difficulties relating to quality, organization and techniques.

The main objective of this Round Table is to present and discuss trends and best-practices in e-learning, sharing experiences, ideas and methods.

Each guest will have 15 minutes to present and then we will open for discussion. Check the program below:
