We have developed a software tool for Learning of Conservation and Rehabilitation Tasks in AEC [Architecture, Engineering, Construction] environments. It is based on different multimedia contents [text, image, video, laser scan] which are georeferenced to a representation of an outdoor scene. Three-dimensional modelling is compatible with any kind of devices for photogrammetric surveying, including images and laser-based information. It intends to become an educational and corporative learning platform (e-Learning and e-Working), which will enable to instructors an effective design of online courses and an efficient management of learning techniques and collaboration activities on the web. Our contribution is focused towards the design and development of collaborative working environments, where experts with different expertise can share their knowledge in a common framework. This tool has been applied for planning intervention strategies, products and methodologies focused towards surveying, planning and executing conservation policies in architectural elements of the Spanish Cultural Heritage with a special regard to Accessibility issues.
