Instructional Technology for GIS and Environmental Science Learning
Dr. Hugh Devine, et.al
We are developing college undergraduate materials to facilitate GIS instruction via the Internet. This program is aimed at bringing GIS capability (both software and data) to every desktop in the university community. A potentially nation-leading effort is underway linking our GIS capability to the NC State University Libraries spatial data collection and the NC State Computing Services. In addition, we have an on going program with the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources to also bring GIS to the study of environmental sciences in K-12 classrooms.
The goal of this project was to develop teaching methodologies for GIS and other natural resources subjects that facilitate the shifting of in-class instruction from a teacher-centered mode (i.e. lecture) to a student-driven model in which the instructor is primarily a mentor and reviewer. This information-rich classroom environment is supported through multimedia computers connected to the campus communications network. The project was a joint effort combining the resources of the NC State Libraries, the College of Forest Resources, and the NC State Computing Center.
