SDI-EDU

• The SDI-EDU platform for vocational e-learning is designed and implemented as a virtual database based on social networks principles of the GeoPortal4everybody and principle of web services using URM

• It integrates different technologies like GIS, e-learning, multimedia, and virtual reality.

• Due to the INSPIRE Directive and its implementation each European Union member state has to transpose the INSPIRE Directive into its national legislation and to develop the interoperable services allowing the management and sharing of spatial data.

• There is the strong demand on creation of European portal for spatial planning which will enable vocational education in a modern way.

It uses metadata to filter out information which best serves the users needs.

Free of charge and published under open source (Affero GPL) licence in source forge.

No special software apart from modern web browser and java virtual environment needed.

Additional equipment is headphones, optionally webcam.

BizBiz Educational Tool

BizBiz is made in the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science,the University of Latvia (IMCS UL)

29, Raina blvd., Riga, LATVIAhttp://www.lumii.lv/?lang=en

Example of a live lecture

Socialbookmarking

It uses popular standards and formats such as HTML5 and Flash where unavoidable.

The advantage of this approach is the easy of use and setup, as well as low restrictions on hardware, because ordinary PC with a broadband connection can be used for conferences up to 30 participants.
