contents:
\Keynote folder <click to access> — contains handout
and PowerPoint slides with extended links for an overview presentation on Geotechnology (1 hour). This presentation provides an encompassing
framework for the field of Geotechnology (Remote Sensing (RS), Global
Positioning System (GPS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS)) with
particular emphasis is given to the Grid-based Map Analysis and Modeling
capabilities of GIS technology. (Keynote description)
\Seminar folder <click to access> — contains materials
for an introductory presentation on Grid-based
Map Analysis and Modeling (2 hours).
This presentation introduces the underlying concepts, procedures and
considerations supporting Grid-based Map Analysis and Modeling using numerous
real-time demonstrations. Software and
tutorial materials are provided for students interested in hands-on experience
as homework. (Seminar description)
\Workshop folder <click to access> — contains materials
for a workshop on Grid-based Map Analysis and Modeling (1 day; 8 contact
hours). The workshop provides an
extensive experience with the concepts, underlying theory, data considerations,
procedures, and practical considerations in applying advanced grid-based map
analysis techniques. It investigates
spatial analysis and spatial data mining approaches using numerous hands-on
examples of analytical techniques and applications from natural resources
management, environmental assessment, precision agriculture and
geo-business. The one day session
assumes instructor demonstrations; the workshop should be extended to two days
(16 contact hours) for participant completion of the eight exercises. (Workshop
description)
The
Keynote and Seminar can be combined for a half-day session with a general
audience for the Keynote presentation (both non-GIS and GIS interested
participants) followed by the Seminar for a targeted audience (GIS interested
participants). This format works very
well for presentations at conferences and large organizations. Instructors are encouraged to review the
online book Beyond Mapping III (www.innovativegis.com/basis/MapAnalysis/Default.htm)
for additional materials for tailoring presentations to particular audiences.
