San Diego State University NSF-ATE (#0401990) Scalable Skills GIS Certificate Program (Web-based GIS Education) John Johnson, Project-PI, Mesa College Dr. Ming-Hsiang (Ming) Tsou, Co-PI, Associate Professor, SDSU E-mail: mtsou@mail.sdsu.edu The Department of Geography, San Diego State University

  2. Reality What is GIS?Geographic Information Systems • Homes • School Districts • Streets • Zip Codes • Cities • Counties GIS sandwich

  3. Reality Web-based GIS (Internet GIS) San Diego State University Client (Web browser) + Java applets Internet Map Server (ArcIMS) Web Server (map.sdsu.edu Internet Client (Web browser) + IMS Viewer Client (Web browser) Regional Database (GIS) Server Client The Network is the Computer The Internet is Your GIS.

  4. San Diego State University Project Website:Http://geoinfo.sdsu.edu/hightech

  5. A Scalable GIS Education Program • High Schools • Community Colleges • Universities (four years undergraduate and graduate study – M.A., M.S. and Ph.D. programs) • (Seamless GIS Education Integration) Career Ladder for different levels of GIS professionals

  6. San Diego State University Project Website:Http://geoinfo.sdsu.edu/hightech • Overview: • Introduce research project information. • Provide on-line, Web-based GIS learning modules for high school students and teachers. • Provide grounding in fundamental GIS theory and concepts. • Help students assess their interest in and aptitude for GIS-related careers, • Form an on-line community and portal for GIS-education research and related projects.

  7. Easy Access with Web Browser NCI's cancer atlas website http://www3.cancer.gov/atlasplus/ Easy to combine Multiple data and resource together

  8. Web-based GIS for high school teachers and students • Avoid the complicated (and often expensive) software installation in traditional GIS. • Students can utilize a Web browser to access maps and GIS from anywhere (schools, homes, or libraries). • Combine with Multimedia(sounds, animation, and 3D) in an integrated Web environment.

  9. San Diego State University Web-based GIS Learning Modules for High Schools • Provide Web-based GIS exercises for existing High school courses in Geography, Earth Science, Biology, or Mathematics. • Rather than create a brand-new courses for high school students. (Difficult to implement a new course in current high school schedules) • Teach ________ with GIS (First Step) • Teach ________ about GIS (in the future)

  10. San Diego State University Web-based GIS Learning Modules for High Schools • Two versions: • Desktop version: ESRI ArcExplorer Java Edition for Education (AEJEE) Stand-alone without network. • Web version: ESRI ArcIMS 9.0 with JavaScript customization. • Two initial learning modules • Earthquake Chasers: Mapping Earthquake Magnitude & Plate Boundaries --Helix Charter High, Paula Ann Trevino (Geography teacher) • San Diego Bay Marine Monitoring Study: High Tech High, Dr. Jay Vavra (Biology teacher).

  12. San Diego State University GIS Workshop for High school teachers and students Locations: High Tech High School (San Diego) Time: February 23, 2005 4:00pm to 6:00pm Focus: • Introduce the concepts of GIS • Introduce our research project and seek for collaboration with high school teachers • Demonstrate research web site and GIS learning modules (Earth Quake Chaser). • Get feedbacks directly from teachers and students.

  17. Mobile GIS • Mobile GIS refers to an integrated software/hardware framework for the access of geospatial data and services through mobile devices via wireline or wireless networks (Tsou, 2004). (Notebooks, PDA, Tablet PC, Pocket PC, etc.) WHY mobile GIS • Field works: data collection and validation process, coupled with GPS and wireless communications. • Real-time update / change • Global Positioning System (GPS) integration.
