"This paper describes the way in which series of undergraduate units have been implemented on-line, using the internet as a means for reaching distance students pursuing postgraduate studies in Cartography and GIScience. It presents the way in which learning resources have been designed and implemented in a Web-based environment where the students can access the unit's study plan, on-line tutorials, hold discussion forums, consult study resources and complete quizzes that enable to monitor their progress within the unit."

Data is available for download in GTFS format as well as ESRI shapefile format.
