21.11 Conclusion
Even if there is still some way to go, we have proposed how to go part of the way. We have identified key requirements of a learning system for the geo-sciences and proposed possible solutions to address these needs:
-
• For the didactical requirement we focus on the facilitation of interaction to support constructionist learning styles. This approach will be further extended in the future by providing ways to integrate interaction in a structured way by means of the ’Interaction Dictionary’.
-
• The production of educational content and its integration into virtual landscapes will only be viable on a larger scale if appropriate processes and tools are available to educators in order to create such learning experiences with little overhead for the handling of technical details. To address this challenge we will further develop the concept of EduOntologies in future work.
-
• The framework for the technical requirements, such as interoperability, support for 3D content and the availability of distribution over the Web is already provided by the proposed OGC-architecture that will be further refined in the future.
