However, it was not until last year that due to the increasing demand from the students of the Master of Conservation of Monuments and Sites (MCMS) to become familiar with GIS, the Raymond Lemaire International Centre for Conservation (RLICC) has been exploring the ability to teach GIS in a conservation heritage environment through the use of an online learning platform.
The proceedings include oral cased-based and research-based presentations, poster presentations, technical demonstrations and a concluding round table discussion.Ĭourses dealing with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been available to the students at the KULeuven since more than 20 years (Hubeau et al. Also, a number of distance learning initiatives now encompasses GIS. Probably the content and format of the GIS-courses have been standardized to some extent along with the establishment of the GIS&T research domain and economical sector. From the year 1995 onwards, the number of study programmes incorporating GIS has raised and still today continues to raise dramatically, both in universities and colleges of higher education. Not surprisingly, the uptake of GIS in course programmes during the first years was rather experimental and highly heterogeneous and unstructured.
ALLOCS WEBMAP SHOW FULL
About 20 years ago, at a time that Geographic Information Science and Technology (GIS&T) was far from being an established academic discipline, ‘GIS’ started to appear as a full subject in a limited number of academic study programmes. How have we been teaching GIS in the past and how can we address the challenges of the rapidly changing academic and societal environments in the near and further future? The workshop is organized to share experiences in academic GIS-education and to reflect about innovative ways of addressing GIS-education in diverse and changing environments.
