In the era of communication technology and its integration with the learning process, the role of the educational institutions has significantly changed, especially after the expansion of Internet use and the rise of what's currently known as “Internet-based learning environments”. After the COVID-19 pandemic, it was necessary for researchers to search for alternatives to the traditional pedagogical approaches of maps teaching so as to cultivate well-educated learners able to adapt to rapidly changing technology-enhanced learning. Hence, the aim of this study is to develop the learning process in the Geography and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) departments in the faculties of Cairo University. To the best of the researchers’ knowledge, this is the first study in Egyptian universities and research associations that utilized GIS and open-source technology to use such a system in classroom pedagogical settings. For achieving this aim, GIS capabilities and a bunch of open-source technologies were utilized to build online maps archiving system that provides rapidly discover, preview, and retrieve digital maps of different types from multiple repositories through several query operations. This will facilitate the teaching process for both staff and students and will make it more interactive and safer. To ensure the efficiency of the designed system, it was tested by a set of tools (Checklist and Questionnaires). The findings of the study point to the proposed system as contributing in significant ways to developing the learning process, increasing students’ interaction with maps, and providing the necessary learning tools.

在通信技术及其与学习过程相结合的时代，教育机构的作用发生了显着变化，尤其是在互联网使用的扩大和目前所谓的“基于互联网的学习环境”的兴起之后。在 COVID-19 大流行之后，研究人员有必要寻找传统地图教学方法的替代方法，以培养受过良好教育的学习者，能够适应快速变化的技术增强学习。因此，本研究的目的是发展开罗大学学院地理和地理信息系统 (GIS) 系的学习过程。据研究人员所知，这是埃及大学和研究协会首次利用 GIS 和开源技术在课堂教学环境中使用此类系统的研究。为实现这一目标，利用 GIS 功能和一系列开源技术构建在线地图归档系统，通过多次查询操作，从多个存储库中快速发现、预览和检索不同类型的数字地图。这将促进教职员工和学生的教学过程，并使其更具互动性和安全性。为了确保设计系统的效率，它通过一组工具（检查表和问卷）进行了测试。研究结果表明，所提出的系统对发展学习过程、增加学生与地图的互动具有重要意义，
