Spain and other latin countries, and they are moving
across different universities abroad for two weeks
normally.
An easy and inexpensive access to this program is seen as a
critical element. Continuity can be guaranteed because a
community of users has expressed a suitanable demand and a
mechanism to support new pupils and institutions.
This program is in a initial fase yet. The labor of creation of
multimedia contents is low and it spends a lot of time.
Didactical and pedagogical criterions is not always linked to the
authoring software methods.
Four training experiences had become last years (Perez et al,
2003), but there is a long trail to reach good results yet.
Option One: e-Learning Program
Pros Cons
Easy to update the curricula No eveyone has accoss.to
internet
Communication in Real-time
between teachers-students
and student-students
No useful for a huge volume
of information (imagery and
software of RS)
Option Two: Authoring Program
Pros Cons
Easy to use
Difficult to update
Net is not necesary
Difficult to resolve problem in
No problem with volumen of the distance
information
Option Three: Bi-modal and presential workshops
Pros Cons
Avoid the cons of above
i I
Teachers and students keep No available yett
the touch for workshops

education in the distance.
5. CONCLUSIONS
These three years of collaboration show how the technology
transfer is making a sinergical way in Remote Sensing and
Photogrammetry. Three years is time enough for up to 800
student got benefit of this collaboration . Every year, more and
more institutions wish to join.
This project is not only an educational project. Our
collaborators and students are working together or
independently researching and developing new projects:
Indexes of vegetation, image map, temperature of soil and sea,
thematic cartography, three-dimensional modelization...
Future of project is optimistic. Results were good in the first
period and a more ambicious program must be developed. New
countries, new universities will be cooperating next years.
