4 1. Introduction Who we are? Ciclope: Project of collaborative e-learning & eresearch Remote laboratories Philosophy: Free knoledge Arquitectura FOSS Web 2.0 Started in 1996 with TITERE web lab /titere

5 1. Introduction What is? Remote access Astronomical Observatory teleoperated via the Internet. Test bed of Ciclope Astro Free software

6 1. Introduction Objectives Initiation to Astronomy with professional astronomers supervision OM is a Web 2.0 for e-learning and e-research To form a web community of people who learn Astronomy To generate free access learning material by the community Encourage good work. Community vote every single action each user does. Pictures, tutorials, comments, etc User's reputation deliver observation time Karma, page rank importance algorithm Anybody with Internet connection can access to the telescope Tasks to be performed On line work: Observation (Real experimentation) Off line work: Data analysis, voting, content generation Broadcasting astronomical events
