GeoPortal
"Interactive interpretative web, e-learning platform and information system supporting other project activities, with emphasis on accuracy, usability, user experience. Modern technologies will be used and updated as needed over the course of the project implementation. Attention will be given to usability, responsivity and accessibility (low threshold of required digital literacy of its users). For best user experience including at least partial offline support, the front-end side may be implemented as a progressive web app (PWA). As a part of the geoportal, a content management system (CMS) will be implemented. Relevant processes and responsibilities will be defined for keeping the contents updated and relevant in the long run. The content on the geoportal will be building each geopark's unique identity and value within the context of the global geopark network, through cooperation within UNESCO. A board of experts will be responsible for clarity and accuracy. The portal will serve also as an e-learning platform for geocourses created within the project and as an information system for the proposed geocontest, thus serving as a backbone of the whole project."
