Making cartography education practical in the GIS&T Body of Knowledge

Описание: Making cartography education practical in the GIS&T Body of Knowledge
Presenter: Jeff Howarth, Middlebury College

This presentation describes the Cartography and Education contribution to the GIS&T Body of Knowledge. The main objectives are to outline instructional dilemmas that educators may encounter at different levels of instructional design and to describe different practical strategies for solving these problems. General methods for encouraging active learning in lectures and problem-based learning in labs are also illustrated with examples, including content from the GIS&T Body of Knowledge. The presentation aims to encourage conversations between academics and practitioners about instructional design strategies for teaching cartographic principles through cartographic practice.

This presentation was made at the 2018 annual meeting of the North American Cartographic Information Society (NACIS) in Norfolk. For more information on NACIS, check out http://NACIS.org.
