This presentation briefly describes two projects that are being implemented by CABI Central and West Asia in Pakistan.
E-Zaraat [Urdu for e-Agriculture] is a ground breaking project funded by DFID. Through this project the entire Agriculture Extension data collection and reporting has been automated. The data from the field is collected via a mobile application. The reports are generated through a web application. A three way help line backed by experts and FAQs was also established to cater to the needs of the farmers and improve reach of the extension workers in the field.
The second project has pioneered e-learning in Agriculture in Pakistan. The project is funded by United States Department of Agriculture. The project focuses on improving the capacity of the Regulatory officers in Pakistan by providing e-learning modules on Sanitary and Photo-sanitary measures. This would eventually help in improving international trade with Pakistan. The project is being implemented in partnership with USDA and Texas A&M University

Implementation of agricultural automation system using web & gsm technolo...eSAT Journals
Abstract
This project probes into the implementation of agricultural automation system using WEB and GSM technologies. This Embedded project is to design and develop a low cost system which is based on embedded platform for agricultural automation. Optimum usage of water is main objective of this system. This project uses soil moisture sensor and temperature sensor to detect the water quantity present in agriculture and water level sensor is used for detecting water level in tank. In this system we monitor status of the sensors through WEB and GSM technologies. Here temperature, soil moisture and water level can be monitored on web page through micro controller and information will be send by SMS. This page contains all the information about the status of the sensors. This information will be viewed at remote location by using GPRS technology. Key words: WEB and GSM technologies, Embedded platform, Soil moisture sensor, Temperature sensor.
Mobile Data Collection and Data Management in Modern AgricultureCAPIGI
Presentation by Thinus Glitz of Claas Agrosystems on Claas' vision and systems for precision agriculture, held at CAPIGI 2011 4-6 April 2011 in Amsterdam.
Family farming is a predominant form of agriculture both in developed and developing countries, with over 500 million productive units in the entire world, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). FAO is promoting 2014 as the international year of family farming. This particular form of agriculture work refers to farms that are managed by family members and are usually small or medium in size and productivity. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are playing a key role in this scenario. New generations, mainly, are in permanent movement, conceiving the two spaces as complementary. Mobile phones, particularly, are providing today a great platform to connect them to the "rurbanity," a new (key) concept to understand hybrid spaces where cities and the countryside are part of the same social reality.

Presentation by Babis Thanopoulos (Agro-Know) in the RDA Wheat Data Interoperability Working Group, about the Wheat demonstrator for mapping the research institutions & research activities (projects) with the data sources of the research community of the Wheat Initiative. [Paris, INRA, 29-30/06/2015]
This business model is intended to provide an online
platform connecting the general public customers with the
producers of groceries and food products such as fruits,
vegetables, meat and dairy products. The producers are selected
based on their production methods and their quality. The model
obtains the demand from the customers and the supply is found
from the producers. The prices of the products are fixed
according to the supply and demand. The customers' orders can
be classified into two different categories: 1. Bulk orders and 2.
Recipe based. The orders are obtained in a bulk quantity or for a
certain period of time and the products are delivered
periodically as per the customer's need. This model eliminates
the requirements of conventional storage units and also controls
the quality of the products using scientific devices. This model
reduces the wastage of resources as it enables the customer to
estimate their requirements using the help of recipe based
ordering system and also keeps the price constant for the bulk
orders.
Validation of services, data and metadataLuis Bermudez
Now days organizations are making available data (e.g. vector data, rasters) via web services, that follow open standards and are easier to integrate with other data. Validation of these services is important to guarantee that clients (e.g. web portals, mobile applications) can properly discover and download the data that a user needs. Validation can also serve as curation process to improve discovery on registries [1][2] or for certification purposes [3]. This session will provide an overview and a demo of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Validation tools. The participants will understand how to invoke a test and install the tools in their own environment. The validation tools are used to test servers, data and clients. The tests can be customized to not only test implementations against OGC standards but also community profiles. The validation engine and the tests are available as open source in GitHub.

The Processing of the 1920's Survey Sheets of the City of Saint John, NB for ...COGS Presentations
Back in the 1920s, Mr. Murdoch and his crew surveyed the entire city of Saint John with great precision. The original sheets were scanned, which were black and white, and were made available on the Saint John open source website. Unfortunately these were not registered and individual sheets. These survey sheets would be very useful for City employees and interesting for the public.
After georeferencing each sheet to its correct location and scale, they were reference to the city property lines, with the help of ortho photos and city streets. Then each sheet was cropped to remove the border and surrounding text, using the Image Analysis window clip tool, and added to a mosaic dataset. The areas of overlap were clipped in the same way so that the areas of more detail was visible. This dataset was the input for the Copy Raster tool, which created one tiff file for all the sheets in 1 bit. The final mosaic was cleaned with the Raster Painting Tool to remove any redundant street names. This cleaned mosaic would then be uploaded to the online interactive City of Saint John Map as a layer for the public to see.
In conjunction with City of Saint John.
This project examines the rate of erosion in Little Harbour, on the south-east coast of the Northumberland Strait. Coastlines were digitized using a series of airphoto mosaics from the 1970s to the present. The rate of change between digitized lines is measured using a script developed at the AGRG. Attributes are added to the data, classifying it by landform, waterbody, and angle. Results are examined to determine the overall rate of erosion, as well as to determine areas of increased vulnerability.
The 2016 Remote Sensing Field camp will take the form of two projects.
A low tech, low cost aerial photography project using visible spectrum UAV/Ultralight Aircraft mounted cameras as the sensor to demonstrate that relatively low tech, low cost solutions can achieve surprisingly good results when compared to more commercial systems.
A more high tech, high cost terrestrial LiDAR collect of a building or structure of historical or architectural significance.
The scope of a project will influence all other aspects of the project, including its cost, timing, quality and risk.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

3. Introduction
1) in Ontario the Pork Producers Marketing
Board of Canada has completed a Premise ID
project with the University of Guelph’s
Department of Land Resource Science called
“BarnBase” in which the location of each hog
farm in the province is added to the database
and mapped according to its GPS
coordinates1.
4. Introduction
2) Chicken Farmers of Ontario (CFO) has entered
the location data of its members into a GIS
database, which contains producer
information such as the farm name, its
owner, phone numbers, the address, how
many chickens are on the farm, their buyers
and many other details2.
5. Introduction
3) The Dairy Farmers of Ontario (DFO) has
recorded the locations of all dairy farms and
bulk storage tanks in a GIS maintained and
used by the DFO to route milk trucks and
provide data in the event of a disease
outbreak3.
6. Introduction
4) Consumer Education
GIS can be used by farmers and vendors at public markets to
show consumers where and how their foods are grown, raised
and prepared.
Such transparency confers a marketing advantage for their
products as increasingly media-savvy consumers are
encouraged to develop a closer relationship through improved
visibility and accessibility of information pertaining to the food
source, thereby winning customer trust4.
(food security, supporting local economy)
7. Introduction
• This project merges the growing popularity of:
• online applications
• consumer interest in locally-grown foods (“Buy local”)
• Goal was to create an application that
promotes local foods by showing consumers
not only where to buy them but also tracing
those foods back to the farms and suppliers
whose foods are used as ingredients.
8. Introduction
• Suppliers can be:
1) The vendor themselves (farm) typically selling
raw produce, meat, etc.
2) Value-added vendor offering baked goods,
ready-to-eat foods, frozen pies, etc.
9. Introduction
• Target Questions for the App to Answer:
1) Where can Local Foods be purchased?
2) When can Local Foods be purchased?
3) Where do those foods originate?
13. Introduction
Not all required data could be collected from vendor
questionnaires - e.g. latitude / longitude of suppliers.
Some Lats / Lons
gathered at
www.selectnovascotia.ca
Remainder estimated
by entering civic address
into Google Earth.
16. Introduction
• Programming Languages Involved:
1) HTML / Javascript (client-side)
2) PHP (server-side)
• Behind-the-scenes requirements for the
application:
1) Database Storage System capable of serving data
2) Web-server
– Both needs filled by MAMP
17. Introduction
MAMP stands for:
i) MacOsX (the operating system it’s designed for)
Versions for Windows (WAMP) and Linux (LAMP) also exist.
ii) Apache (the internet server)
iii)MySQL (the database management system)
iv)PHP (the programming language used to communicate
with the database)
Best of all, it’s open source.
21. Introduction
• Javascript is the
“muscle” that puts
action on a website
(e.g. addMarker function)
• GoogleMaps API
– a programming
extension for online
mapping
– Free under 25,000
hits/day and no charge
to visitors.
22. Introduction
• php scripts send SQL queries requesting
data in certain order by specific columns
• SQL returns data as “rows”
• Data of interest from each row is placed into
variables ($var).
• Data “echoed” back to Javascript.
26. Introduction
Step 1) Search by Market… Day… & Category using the
drop-down select lists
Step 2) Click a Market icon on the Map to see Vendors
Step 3) In the Market infoWindow click “Show Me the
Vendors at this Market”
Step 4) In the Vendors List infoWindow “click a Vendor
to map Suppliers”
Step 5) In the Foods List infoWindow “click from the list
of Food Categories… to see Product Details”
28. Introduction
1) Keeping the ‘Action’ on the Map
(navigation through InfoWindows vs. ‘side panel’ in
earlier versions {below} – “distracted experience”)
29. Introduction
2) Navigation (forward and backward) within
InfoWindows
3) Vendors displayed in Alphabetical Order
4) Introduction Pop-up Window offering
background & user instructions
5) Intuitive user experience (directing the
users’s eye, efficient wording of instructions)
30. Introduction
6) If a food category was specified in the initial
search vendors selling it are listed first and
highlighted as selling that food
31. Introduction
7) Foods selected for further “Product
Details” are also highlighted.
(example below: “fruit” is highlighted to indicate the
product details being displayed are for that category.)
32. Introduction
8) Visual Concealment of Supplier Markers
- In lieu of transparent infoWindows the main infoWindow is
briefly closed and re-opened in Step 5, at least making the
user aware of supplier markers that may be behind it.
33. Introduction
1) Marker Clustering
- issues to work out with emptying the array
of GoogleMap API’s “MarkerClusterer”
method.
2) Enable typing searches
3) User input / interaction (reviews,
comments)
