NATURNET - REDIME
Classical e learning is not sexy
• The experiences provided in NaturNet Redime project have demonstrated that for training the classical e-learning methodology is not convenient. It is difficult to attract people to self studies. The people and especially young people require interaction and also possibilities to work active with the context

Uniform Resource Management (URM)
“Google problem” - in many cases a user obtains thousands, if not millions, of irrelevant links.
Google standard search
• sustainability 60,100,000
• "sustainable development" 47,900,000
• "sustainability resource" 16,400
• "sustainability resources" 156,000
• "sustainable development resource" 743
• "sustainable development resources” 890

Uniform Resource Management (URM)
• provides a framework in which communities can share information and knowledge trough their description, which is easy understandable inside of the community
• It supports collaborative research, training, decision processes, In order to effectively share information and knowledge, there has to be a standardized scheme, which supports uniform description of information and knowledge including common vocabularies.

Experiences from GeoGame using
• Two large pilot setups– Using GeoGame on Liberec region
• Games are defined by specialist and university students
– Using games with pupils of secondary schools (11 years old)
• Gaming• Making games
19th August 2009 AgroLT workshop
Experiences from GeoGame using
• Different behavior of adults and pupils in gaming– Adults are more serious and are afraid about
results, often they are losing interest, if they first score is not satisfied
– Pupils want to be winner, they are repeating game till they are on good position (good for education, because, they play game many times and they are able learn about subject)
19th August 2009 AgroLT workshop
Next plan
• To open GeoGame internationally
• To organize international competition (increase knowledge but also language skills)
• In some countries introduce this as one tools for education
