The ContextThe Context- Ecole Polytechnique Fédéralede Lausanne includes 6 Faculties and offers many bachelor, master and PhD programs, altogether over 6'000 students.
- The funding program FIFO is encouraging the development of resources for training and testing of learning scenarios.

- Focus on a specific domain of teaching: “Fundamentals of Geomatics”.
The Geomatics Course...The Geomatics Course...

Motivations for the developmentMotivations for the development
- Develop innovative resources for teaching the fundamentals in engineering geomatics.
- Improve e-learning tools with a focus on calculus exercises, saving on office hours (teaching staff).
- Increase the students’ autonomy in learning and in doing exercises by themselves.
- Facilitate the creation of datasets for the exercises.
