Das Projekt "eSENS - e-School of Environmental Sensing" wird/wurde gefördert durch: Technische Universität Dresden. Es wird/wurde ausgeführt durch: Technische Universität Dresden, Institut für Photogrammetrie und Fernerkundung, Professur für Fernerkundung.Satellite and airborne remote sensing of the Earth's environment is a comparatively young science which is characterized by technological innovations in short temporal intervals. For successful, sustainable, and timely utilization of new and upcoming remote sensing data, methodological knowhow and new skills (e.g. handling imaging spectrometer and full polarimetric SAR data) are required by individuals. Training people in these competences is essential to ensure high quality in the field. Therefore, attention has to be turned to teaching and learning remote sensing in higher education (and even earlier) as an ongoing and scholarly process to address the academic and industrial market requirements. Aside from its fast development, a further didactic challenge is the interdisciplinary character of remote sensing, including, for example, competences from electrical engineering, earth sciences, physics, or biology. Interdisciplinary -E-learning concepts will be developed in cooperation with international scientific partners.
