VIRTUAL LABORATORY OF INTERACTIVE TEACHING - A LIVE LABORATORY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE EDUCATION

Presentation technologies are especially important in the age of Internet and the information flood as attractiveness of the learning content directly leads to the content's exposure to recipients - both pupils and the general audience. Environmental science knowledge is easily available in the form that is a universal description of a subject, encyclopaedia-like. Practical use of such information in education may be problematic however as education always happens in the context of some level. Adjusting the terminology and the amount of details for e. g. primary education requires a teacher's work that has to be repeated by other teachers willing to use such information in their classes. The Virtual Laboratory of Interactive Teaching (WLIN) is set to address the aforementioned issues. It allows environmental science education to happen in an attractive way and at the same time adjusted to the needs of primary and secondary education.
