Abstract
GIS applications are nowadays used in nearly every area of society and the need for GIS competence is therefore
increasing over all. Micro-training and open educational resources are important concepts to reach new target
groups, not least from a higher education perspective. The use of Web 2.0 creates possibilities for a more user
friendly approach and for broader outreach. The eGIS+ project addresses the question of how to capture the
interest of children and new groups for GIS and to offer GIS competence with a high level of flexibility in time,
space and study pace.
