This report describes the results achieved and the experiences gained in the Erasmus+ CBHE (Capacity Building in Higher Education) project \u201cInnovation on Remote Sensing Education and Learning (IRSEL)\u201d. European and Asian universities created an innovative open source e-learning platform in the field of remote sensing. Twenty modules tailored to remote sensing study programs at the four Asian partner universities were developed. Principles of remote sensing as well as specific thematic applications are part of the modules, and a knowledge pool of e-learning teaching and learning materials was created. The focus was given to case studies covering a broad range of applications. Piloting with students gave evidence about the usefulness and quality of the developed modules. In particular, teachers and students who tested the modules appreciated the balance of theory and practice. Currently, the modules are being integrated into the curricula of the participating Asian universities. The content will be available to a broader public.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13091718","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,29]],"date-time":"2021-04-29T10:30:41Z","timestamp":1619692241000},"page":"1718","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["The Making of a Joint E-Learning Platform for Remote Sensing Education: Experiences and Lessons Learned"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2521-3454","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas","family":"Bauer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Geomatics, Vienna (BOKU), University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, 1190 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6758-1207","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Markus","family":"Immitzer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Geomatics, Vienna (BOKU), University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, 1190 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1336-8045","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Reinfried","family":"Mansberger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Geomatics, Vienna (BOKU), University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, 1190 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Vuolo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Geomatics, Vienna (BOKU), University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, 1190 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"B\u00e9la","family":"M\u00e1rkus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Alba Regia Technical Faculty, \u00d3buda University, 8000 Sz\u00e9kesfeh\u00e9rv\u00e1r, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ma\u0142gorzata Ver\u0151n\u00e9","family":"Wojtaszek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Alba Regia Technical Faculty, \u00d3buda University, 8000 Sz\u00e9kesfeh\u00e9rv\u00e1r, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7810-8551","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"L\u00f3r\u00e1nt","family":"F\u00f6ldv\u00e1ry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Alba Regia Technical Faculty, \u00d3buda University, 8000 Sz\u00e9kesfeh\u00e9rv\u00e1r, Hungary"},{"name":"Department of Geodesy and Surveying, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, 1111 Budapest, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6994-7804","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aneta","family":"Szablowska-Midor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Geography and Spatial Management, Jagiellonian University, 30-387 Cracow, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1001-8151","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jacek","family":"Kozak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Geography and Spatial Management, Jagiellonian University, 30-387 Cracow, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5870-0366","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ivan","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation ITC, University of Twente, 7514 AE Enschede, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Arno","family":"van Lieshout","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation ITC, University of Twente, 7514 AE Enschede, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5677-8298","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zolt\u00e1n","family":"Vekerdy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation ITC, University of Twente, 7514 AE Enschede, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Institute of Environmental Sciences, Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences, 2100 G\u00f6d\u00f6ll\u0151, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8381-7942","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarawut","family":"Ninsawat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Remote Sensing &amp;
