Teaching materials, encyclopaedia, easy-to-use image processing - the FIS Learning Portal on remote sensing

In this contribution we present a web-based learning portal on the subject of remote sensing for schools. The learning portal contains interactive material that is intended to give young students a new understanding of the value of natural sciences by connecting curriculum-oriented topics with specific exemplary applications from topics of remote sensing and digital image analysis. Above that, the portal contains comprehensive background information on remote sensing and specific analysis tools enabling individual exploration of satellite images. Both, the learning portal and the learning material are following a moderate constructivist approach encouraging students to discover the material independently. Here, we focus on the portal's learning management functions, giving teachers the opportunity to analyse their students' results. Furthermore, we present our first experiences with the portal after half a year of service.
