Our ApproachOur Approach
• allows students anywhere access to GPS / GIS and photogrammetry theory
• recognizes and understands the importance ofintegrated technologies (real applications)
• capitalizes upon open architectures (efficiency)
• recognizes educational materials developed on high speed networks are delivered on low speed dialups (access)
Where are we going?Where are we going?
• increased use of JAVA
• developing databases of interactive “scenarios”
• online visualization & modeling
• use of real-time data and live applications
• remote location real-time labs• • online stereoscopy
• multi - language GPS/GIS/photogrammetry modules•
The Future / NeedsThe Future / Needs• increased education and training in multiple and integrated technology applications and use
• use and development of interactive technologies
for delivery anywhere and anytime
• innovative and unique partnerships between industry, government and institutions to
acquiretechnologies, develop, and distribute
educational materials
• research and development to meet new applications
and emerging new “geo-technologies”.
