The
highly integrated multimedia technologies of e-Learning are rapidly changing the
style of education. The interest to education is increasing more than ever.
Recognizing the importance of combining
the latest e-Learning technology with traditional pedagogy, the
International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) Commission

Outreach” is organizing an
international symposium on “E-LEARNING AND THE NEXT STEPS FOR EDUCATION" jointly with the Japan
Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (JSPRS) on June 27-30, 2006 in

The objective of the Symposium is to bring researchers, engineers,
