  1. The Architecture of the VESTA-GIS Training Framework Anders Östman University of Gävle, Sweden Anders.Ostman@hig.se VESTA-GIS Workshop 2008-07-01

  2. Training Framework • Aims to collect, organize and deliver vocational training content about • GIS technology and tools • Applications within different sectors • Main components • An e-learning platform for hosting training curses • Training catalogue • Course builder VESTA-GIS Workshop 2008-07-01

  3. VESTA-GIS Workshop 2008-07-01

  4. Training Catalogue • Metadata about courses and training packages stored in a database • Basic information • Course title, Language, Provider, Duration, Level, Delivery format, Keywords • Other searchable information • Course type, cost, certificate, intended audience • Course details • Location, didactic approach, fee, overview, training units, prerequisites etc • Based on MySQL DBMS (open source) • Multilingual support VESTA-GIS Workshop 2008-07-01

  5. Use cases for catalogue services • A potential trainee wants to find information about a course and how to enrol • A course provider enters metadata • A course provider assembles courses into a training package (training package builder) • Updating and cleaning by the database administrator VESTA-GIS Workshop 2008-07-01

  6. Training Package Builder • Build customised learning paths (training packages) • Based on the requirements of a specific person or organisation • Requires metadata with course content, levels, prerequisites etc. VESTA-GIS Workshop 2008-07-01

  7. Entry of course information Course ID: HiG 8VT023B Name of course: Introduction to geographical coordinate systems Course provider: University of Gävle Subject area: GIS technology & related sciences Work load: 8 Hour(s) Duration: 2 Week(s) Course level: Basic Delivery format: Distance learning Keywords: Conceptual Foundations VESTA-GIS Workshop 2008-07-01
