Abstract

There is a rapidly increasing demand for professionals with a background in Remote Sensing and GIS, a development that has forced many universities all over the world to restructure their courses and programmes and to introduce new undergraduate and graduate programmes. In Turkey and many Middle Eastern Countries there exists an acute shortage of Remote Sensing and GIS experts. The authors discuss this alongside the development of an online education programme for reducing the undersized pool of professionals.
