Project: "Resilience in Geospatial Learning"
Cohort 2020-2021
This talk discusses the promises and pitfalls of teaching geospatial courses remotely, from the technical to the theoretical. It reflects on a suite of educational research investigating the outcomes of a small survey of students who participated in remote geospatial courses in Fall 2020; the format of available geospatial software and tools; and, best practice in online-only delivered geospatial courses from across the US. Finally, it argues that preemptive course design, underpinned by active technical and theoretical learning, and the educator's choice of software is critical for success in teaching geospatial content in uncertain educational futures.
