Personalized project space is a key feature in G-Portal to allow its owner, the learner, to gather and organize metadata about geography-related learning objects relevant to his/her learning process. The ongoing G-Portal research has been focusing on the development of a Web portal to manage geography learning objects on the Web by storing metadata about these objects. Query, classification, annotation and map browsing are among the functions provided to manipulate these objects. These functions are still available to personalized project space. On top of them, new functions to help acquiring new metadata content, synthesizing knowledge about the course topic, exporting personalized project content and creating (and referencing) project contexts are added to integrate more learning steps into G-Portal
