These educational resources on Open Geospatial Standards might be of interest to other educators also. It is important esp. for University level programs (both at graduate and masters level) that students are given strong foundations in Geospatial Standards education. You can make use of these course materials in your teaching and if you are able to contribute ideas/inputs to this excellent initiative from OGC , please contact Luis directly.
Understanding the importance and role of Open Standards are one of the key aspects of Open Principles in Education.
Best wishes,
Suchith

Subject: [Ica-osgeo-labs] Update on OGC E-Learning material
All,
We have made some progress developing OGC online training material.
I have updated the wiki to reflect the latest. Here we have the logical groupings we are thinking about in order to make the standards easier to digest and explain, and maybe in the future to provide professionals OGC certification.
https://github.com/opengeospatial/e-learning/wiki/Content
The source [1] should be easily reusable. We have design it in a way that the documentation can be easily incorporated in other places (e.g. OCG Live).
For example
- introduction to OGC can be found here in the intro-ogc.rst file [2]
- introduction to WMS 1.3 [3]
We also have demo server with the content created so far:
http://54.68.173.163/el/
Help, feedback and comments are appreciated.
