From a research project to an internet-based educational package

Abstract

A newly developed method in the mapping sciences is presented by means of an educational package. Animations and hypertexts are used for the explanations, and experiments with changing data sets can be carried out. In such learning by experiments the new mapping method is easier to understand. The Internet-based interactive program can be used by means of a browser and are therefore available for all connected to the Internet. The article describes the experiences of the development and the use of the program.
