  1. Experience in the Application of E-learning Tools in Teaching Petr SOUKUP1 Pavel ŽOFKA2 Czech technical university in Prague Faculty of civil engineering 1Department of mapping and cartography 2Department of geodesy and land adjustment email: soukup@fsv.cvut.cz, zofka@fsv.cvut.cz Scientia Est Potentia – Knowledge Is Power – FIG Commission 2 – CTU in Prague – 7-9 June, 2007

  2. Main topics • e-learning in courses aimed at digital processing of graphic surveying data • teaching of an ‘Interactive graphics systems’ at our department • courses content, teaching methods, assignments, evaluation • course management system • plans for future Scientia Est Potentia – Knowledge Is Power – FIG Commission 2 – CTU in Prague – 7-9 June, 2007

  3. E-learning • established form of teaching • effectiveness and attractiveness of teaching • study allows more freedom in time and place – studying whenever and where ever • the teacher’s role is changing • make easier a routine administrative work • more time for work with students Scientia Est Potentia – Knowledge Is Power – FIG Commission 2 – CTU in Prague – 7-9 June, 2007

  4. Interactive graphics systems History • the primary content - creation and maintenance of digital maps • using modern procedures and programming tools • compulsory for students in the study branch of Geodesy and Cartography • elective in the newly opened study branch of Geoinformatics The oldest map Pálava – CR Klaudyán´s map of Bohemia - 1518 Scientia Est Potentia – Knowledge Is Power – FIG Commission 2 – CTU in Prague – 7-9 June, 2007

  5. Interactive graphics systems Today • the compulsory courses work runs in two semesters • 1. semester - general graphics editor • 2. semester - specialized surveying systems • elective courses in higher years of study • solve more complex problems The maps on internet Maps into application via WMS Scientia Est Potentia – Knowledge Is Power – FIG Commission 2 – CTU in Prague – 7-9 June, 2007

  6. General graphics editor • Computer Aided Design (CAD) software • MicroStation system (Bentley Systems, Incorporated) • public administration and private sector Digital technical map • there is a number of geodetic extensions • creation of 3D model buildings and terrain • comfortable to use Digital terrain model Scientia Est Potentia – Knowledge Is Power – FIG Commission 2 – CTU in Prague – 7-9 June, 2007

  7. Basic assignments Family house plan • free dimensionless painting practice • drawings with a defined dimension • converting of raster image to a vector format • creation of cells for surveying practice • land division using a cadastral map • family house plan • creating 3D drawings Model of 3D building Scientia Est Potentia – Knowledge Is Power – FIG Commission 2 – CTU in Prague – 7-9 June, 2007

  8. Specialized surveying systems • KOKEŠ system (GEPRO Company) • creating and maintaining digital maps • processing of measured data Digital cadastral map • editing of drawings • preparation of final cartographic outputs • changeable format • KOKEŠ-Basic programming language Ortophoto Scientia Est Potentia – Knowledge Is Power – FIG Commission 2 – CTU in Prague – 7-9 June, 2007

  9. Basic assignments Net adjustment • geodetic net adjustment (GNU gamalib) • a road route • survey of a phone connection • special-purpose map • creation of a contour line plan (Atlas DMT system) • land division (area subdivision) • surveying data (drawing of point position) Contour line plan Scientia Est Potentia – Knowledge Is Power – FIG Commission 2 – CTU in Prague – 7-9 June, 2007

  10. Other aspects of education • based on real life practical situations • actual measured data • updating of assignments • importance of internal data structure • support of students individual work • using in other subjects of study • cooperation with the system’s authors Internal data structure Scientia Est Potentia – Knowledge Is Power – FIG Commission 2 – CTU in Prague – 7-9 June, 2007

  11. MISYS system Description information of parcel • extension of the KOKEŠ • handling the Real Estate Cadastre • connection of the maps elements with the data • spatially localized subjects of interest • assigned information (text, image, animation) • GIS Database entries visualization Scientia Est Potentia – Knowledge Is Power – FIG Commission 2 – CTU in Prague – 7-9 June, 2007

  12. MISYS-WEB application Territories with a digital map • data located on anInternet server • efficient data model • standard web page browser • reduced functions • verification of the user's identity • data servers with public access • specific functions Plan of town Kladno on web Scientia Est Potentia – Knowledge Is Power – FIG Commission 2 – CTU in Prague – 7-9 June, 2007

  13. Specialized modules • study is composed of separated specialized modules • new online course for students specialized in technical surveying • higher years of study - wider scope of branch-oriented knowledge • working out more difficult tasks • individual work on projects Prague – 1618 Sadeler Prague – digital model Scientia Est Potentia – Knowledge Is Power – FIG Commission 2 – CTU in Prague – 7-9 June, 2007

  14. Basic assignments • digital technical map of city • geometric plan (GEPLAN) • MicroStation and databases • using of KOKEŠ-Basic • MISYS and objects of interest • MISYS and databases • digital terrain model – creation (Atlas) • digital terrain model – visualization Digital technical map Digital terrain model Scientia Est Potentia – Knowledge Is Power – FIG Commission 2 – CTU in Prague – 7-9 June, 2007

  15. Form of teaching • computer laboratories • groups of maximum 20 students • number of necessary administrative acts • setting and correcting assignments • setting and correcting knowledge tests • e-learning - new possibilities • Course Management System (CMS) “The teacher of nations" Komenský´s map of Moravia - 1627 Scientia Est Potentia – Knowledge Is Power – FIG Commission 2 – CTU in Prague – 7-9 June, 2007

  16. E-learning at CTU • until recently the CTU lacked a clear concept in the CMS area • the present-day situation is starting to take more distinct features • web portal http://courseware.cvut.cz • survey of e-learning at the CTU • facilitate access to courses • prefer systems - Class Server and Moodle system Scientia Est Potentia – Knowledge Is Power – FIG Commission 2 – CTU in Prague – 7-9 June, 2007
