ORTO is a computer-assisted learning (CAL) program which is designed for the education of surveyors and photogrammetrists at the university level. The contents is knowledge about:
Tasks are given and an analysis of the answers is carried out. Furthermore, various experiments can be carried out, and complex instrumentation and procedures are simulated. Statistics about the performance of the student are compiled and can be printed. ORTO is part of a more comprehensive package, called LISdemo, which also deals with parcel and thematic maps (Copyright: Höhle/Stubkjær).
Requirements:
User interface: Key operation, on-line help, hot keys, calculator.

If you are interested in the program you can download it by clicking on DOWNLOAD. The program is packed and has to be unpacked by writing unzip lis.zip -D in a directory C:\LIS, which has to be created in advance. You may have to adapt the language in the texts. Use system-initializing (system-initialisering) and language (sprog). Good Success!
