The research aim is to create e-learning courses with a thematic focus on the climate and its change consisting accurate information from the field of climate change and environment. The main objective of the courses is to provide educational materials to various groups of users, focusing on natural and social sciences related to the climate change. During the creation of e-learning courses the authors faced the following problem: the e-learning system they used, Moodle, did not include any modules for work with maps or geodata.
