Development, implementation and management of geoinformation programs or projects are difficult subjects characterised by high level of technical sophistication, interdisciplinarity and multi-subjectivity. With increasing chances of their development a number of threats in the implementation phase have to be taken into account, mainly lack of national experience (good examples) in organising and managing geoinformation projects and low popularity and limited knowledge of their functionality. Within this context, the issues of geoinformation education should be recognized as a fundamental factor in development and popularisation of this knowledge. Education in geoinformation, in all of its forms, from full-time studies to continuous learning should be an important (strategic) element of developing information society, as well as popularisation of geoinformation systems for decision support and automation of engineering design. In the paper, analysis of the present full-time and continuous education models in geoinformatics on the Faculty of Geoengineering, Mining and Geology at the Wrocław University of Technology is presented. Current and planned market demand, employment opportunities for graduates, human resources, technical and economical factors, regional determinants as well as strategies of development the University in general and Mining and Geology in particular are included in the analysis. The course structure is presented in the form of course modules with examples of the structure of classes and forms of conducting them; teaching effects are shown on the example of the Masters programme (Geoinformatics specialisation). In the program structure, the newest modules connected with geoinformation project management (including financial analysis of SIP/GIS investments) and Internet engineering have been included. Attention is drawn to different conditions and forms of program realisation in postgraduate studies, mainly to learning modules and extensive statistics on their influence on the environment. Based on 8 years of experiences in full-time and postgraduate education, and particularly on statistical data, comments and conclusions have been formulated on education strategies and programs, including courses, forms of teaching, problems and threats.

In the paper a detailed analysis of full-time and continuing education studies and course syllabuses in GIS at the Wroclaw University of Technology is presented. On the example of a major degree in geoinformation awarded at the Faculty of Geo-engineering, Mining and Geology present and proposed course structures and methods of conducting lectures are described, including teaching programs, course syllabuses and constraints. Directions of changes aimed at introducing e-learning in the teaching model have been proposed. Similar analysis is made together with statistical summary of the participants of the past seven course editions for postgraduate studies in GIS. The issue of making continuing education more popular is raised as well as the need for closer cooperation of academic centers, public administration and business entities.

The author presents results of a poll concerning the Postgraduate Course carried out among current and former students. The answers came from 27% of students. In the article needs and expectations related to the Course were presented, concerning mostly essential matters, but also organizational issues. Additionally, statistical information about place of employment, age and education of the students were presented. Subjects of students evaluation reports were listed. There were also presented: ranking of lectured subjects according to their .usefullness., synthetic evaluation of lecturers both from the Warsaw Agricultural University and from outside, and the general evaluation of the Course. The contents of the article refers to previous publication about the Course which appeared in Annals of Geomatics in 2003.

In the paper, the main directions of teaching in the area of new geospatial technologies are presented on the example of postgraduate study of Geographic Information Systems at the Geoengineering, Mining and Geodesy Faculty of the Wrocław University of Technology. The program of the study takes into account new technologies of acquisition, processing and making available geospatial data, and is focused on Internet engineering and subjects connected with interoperability, metadata and data wholesalers. In the first semester, stress is put on getting familiarised with elements of IT applied in GIS, on databases management systems and numerical maps systems. The programme of this semester covers in particular: m fundamentals of IT systems (architecture, operation systems, information network systems, making network resources available). These classes are aimed at presenting popular operation systems (Windows, Linux), how to use them and on what principle they operate, m methods of data acquisitions (analytical and digital photogrammetry, satellite positioning) and building of numerical maps, m fundamentals of databases (MySQL, Oracle, MsSQL Server). These classes are aimed at showing how to store these data and how to manage them (add, remove, modify) with the uses of SQL language). In the second semester, after getting acquainted with fundamentals of IT and GIS, participants of the study are familiarised with more advanced technologies. The program covers: standards of data exchange (XML, taking into account SVG language for vector graphics GML language for recording of geographic data), dynamie WWW pages (PHP language, access to databases through WWW page, data management from the WWW page level) and combining these two approaches (access to databases through WWW page, spatial analysis and visualization of results). Within the framework of the program of the study students prepare diploma thesis. Those which are worth mentioning as closely connected with new geospatial technologies are enumerated in the paper. It should be noted that postgraduate study only familiarises students with new geospatial technologies and does not prepare them for creation of Internet services with the use of script languages, of databases and SVG vector graphics as methods of publication of maps in the Internet: it does not prepare for creation of professional applications of data management, data exchange and making them available to other entities. Graduates of the study gain sufficient knowledge to work in the positions where such technologies are used or where development of a given institution and its cooperation with environment is decided.
