The Curriculum Design Tool (CDT) allows users to create, edit and find educational offers in the field of Earth Observation and Geographic Information. Educational offers may benefit from the EO4GEO BoK, by re-using descriptions of related BoK concepts and link specific EO/GI BoK concepts and skills.

The modularity of the tool allows to create educational offers at different levels of granularity, from an entire study program to a single lecture or lesson. This allows its use by a broad range of educational offers by various providers, ranging from academia programs to high school curricula or VET trainings. It also allows re-use of educational offers, by duplicating or promoting existing offers and adapting them to the user’s needs.

EO4GEO’s Curriculum Design Tool

Among others, the tool is populated with a list of innovative educational offers, created by EO4GEO partners, and will contain training offers in the future- The European Skills/Competences and Occupation (ESCO) classification is used for the inclusion of transversal skills.
