Click on the links below to download the Keynote, Seminar and Workshop materials briefly described below.  See Instructor CD#2 for materials supporting an upper division/graduate College Course.

 

\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.
