The EduServ Model
• Distance Elearning courses– Four per year– Moodle Platform (DIT)– Each course: Two-weeks Duration– 15 Hours online per week to be expected– Usually about 30 participants each year
• Pre-Course Seminar (two-day)– Meet other Students– Background presentations– Introduction to Courses– Familiarisation with Platform

EduServ – Fees and PaymentsMust be ‘Zero Sum’
• Course Fees for Participants– One or two courses
• € 600
– Three or four course• € 700
– Three or more participants from same organisation• Capped at € 2,100
• Stipend for Course Teachers• € 2,500 per course
• Any Surplus distributed as scholarships in following EduServ
15

Quality Control
• Feedback Questionnaire following Seminar– Reaction positive– Prefer to focus on course(s) being followed
• Feedback Questionnaire (online) following each course– Reaction positive– Faster reaction from teachers requested– Finding time to complete is the biggest issue
16

EuroSDR Education Service
• Inter Commission WG on Education Services concentrates solely on EduServ courses– Capacity building not addressed; Outreach not
addressed– Possible scope for collaboration with related
organisations• Conflict of roles versus Universities not
significant– Many mapping agencies do not have access to local
CPD
17

EuroSDR Education Service
• Courses are not validated for external credits such as ECTS– Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
• EduServ is not good at marketing itself and so can be vulnerable– Potential participants don’t know courses exist
• Attendance at pre-course seminar is recommended– Buddy system available
18

EuroSDR Education Service
• Course participation is difficult to fit to production pressure cycles– Drop out not significant but is a factor
• Life after EduServ courses is being addressed– Archiving of courses for future (limited?) access
• EduServ courses aim to– transfer results of EuroSDR research activities to
production• EduServ works because
– EuroSDR’s mapping agencies and education institutes both support it.19
