7-Day Short Course: Exploring Spatial Thinking with GIS

[المشرف العام]

Want to quickly ramp up to speed with applying spatial thinking with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to education? *Join me in the Online Learning Consortium for an asynchronous 7-day short course through the Online Learning Consortium beginning 2 October 2015. *Read more about the course here. *The course has two main objectives:

• Explore spatial thinking in a wide variety of disciplines and apply it to your own discipline.
• Use GIS tools to capture, analyze, and present data from your discipline.

The workshop is entirely online and requires approximately 6 hours of work, including reading research-based articles, viewing presentations, engaging in discussion forums, and working through hands-on, engaging activities. *The activities will be based on ArcGIS Online and includes investigations in earthquakes, population change, business locations, weather, and citizen science. *Faculty interested in spatial thinking, instructional designers, and others who have a location component to their teaching or research should consider attending. *Or, tell a colleague that you have been encouraging to explore GIS about the course.

Reading this blog a few days after 2 October? *There is still time to sign up. *If you are reading this long after the course ends, if there is sufficient interest, we can offer the course again.
