摘要：National mapping agencies have at their disposal a number of resour ces for the continuing pr ofessional development of their staff. These range from attendance at full-time University programmes to short in-house tutorials and workshops. The Dublin Institute of Technology has recently developed an eLearning course in 'Co-ordinate reference systems for spatial information' and piloted it with staff of Ordnance Survey Ireland and the Department of Lands and Surveys, Nicosia, Cyprus. This paper evaluates the performance of eLearning in the delivery of the pilot courses pointing to its weaknesses and its strengths. The need for considered and car eful use of interactive tools such as discussion boards and chat r ooms is emphasised as ar e issues affecting assessment and accreditation. The authors provide an analysis of the time commitment required in the preparation and delivery of eLearning courses in the spatial information sciences and make recommendations as to the choice of appropriate course topics
