ISPRS WG V/1

Education and Training through Curricula Development and Enhanced Learning Practices

Our Mission

Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing, and Geospatial sciences, being multidisciplinary, impact a vast range of scientific fields and domains on national and global levels. At the same time, technological advancements and new theoretical developments continuously alter the way we acquire, process, interpret, and use geospatial datasets. Formal education and training at universities and institutions aim at providing a robust body of knowledge through a plethora of courses that are delivered using various modes and teaching methods.

To address ongoing changes, many universities and institutions follow a perpetual review and evaluation/assessment process to modernize their curriculum and pedagogical methods. Many of these institutions have to adhere to accreditation and/or university requirements, as well as industry and other local community needs. At the same time, it is important to monitor pedagogical trends and integrate them into the curriculum, without overloading students. This is a challenging task that can be achieved by using innovative tools for supporting teaching and learning approaches. This Working Group aims at providing the platform for curricula revision and/or development and support the adoption of innovative tools and approaches in education and training in Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing, Geospatial Sciences and relevant Disciplines.
