Abstract

Students at study branch Geoinformatics use several software products for the creation and analyzing spatial data. Software products belong to the special information systems named Geographic Information System (GIS). The practical lectures take place in the computer laboratory. Courses are supported by e-learning portal based on open source learning platform Moodle. E-learning portal of Department of Geoinformatics supports both bachelor study “Geoinformatics and Geography” both master study “Geoinformatics”. Some lectures have been created for lecturing visual programming languages. Visual programming languages in GIS are aimed for the batch automatic data processing in GIS. Skills with visual programming languages are important for advanced users in GIS. Visual programming languages are more comprehensible than textual programming languages. Students in second and third year are ready to learn it. They are also familiar with e-learning courses and blended learning. The presented e-learning lectures for visual programming language confirm the usability of the platform Moodle. The described experiences with the visual language programming supported by e-learning portal are based on several years of lecturing at Palacký University in Olomouc in the Czech Republic.
