ELOGeo team has attended the JISCGeo Program Meeting on 28-29 Novemner 2011 in London, where all the JISCGeo project has been reviewed. It has also been our pleasure to win the "Best Project Management" award. More details are here.

The ELOGeo repository was launched in June 2011 and just within the 5 months was successful in building a community of contributors and users for the project which itself is a great testimony for the project. As of November 1, 2011, ELOGeo has 58 registered users, with 66 materials (lecture notes, practicals, handouts, papers etc) being submitted to the repository by the community. In this 5 month period we had over 17000 views for the materials with over 3000 searches performed which clearly shows the strong demand for ELOGeo platform. We are extremely thankful for the strong support from the Open Source geospatial community which made this results possible.

We are conducting a usability survey to help us get feedback on the E-learning for Open Geospatial Community (ELO-Geo) . The survey will take around 5-10 minutes and will make very useful information for us in order to improve the framework in the future.
