Infos

Geographic Information Science and Technology (GISc&T) has been
at the forefront of education innovation in geography and allied
sciences for two decades.

Teaching Geographic Information Science and Technology in
Higher Education is an invaluable reference for educators
and researchers working in GISc&T, providing coverage of the
latest innovations in the field and discussion of what the future
holds for GI Science education in the years to come.

This book clearly documents teaching innovations and takes stock
of lessons learned from experience in the discipline. The content
will be of interest both to educators and researchers working in
GISc&T, and to educators in other related fields. More
importantly, this book also anticipates some of the opportunities
and challenges in GI Science and Technology education that may
arise in the next decade. As such it will be of interest to chairs,
deans, administrators, faculty in other subfields, and educators in
general.
