Spatial Thinking vs. Jobs
•What are the educational requirements?
•Where are the jobs?
•What are the tasks?
•What is spatial literacy?

What is the GeoTech Center
•An NSF funded ATE National Center of Excellence
•Single point of contact for two year colleges
•A Geospatial curriculum repository
•A data warehouse (data, static maps, dynamic maps)
•A best practice in Geospatial

Problem 1
•How do you teach GIS which requires specialized software?
▫On campus
▫Hybrid
▫Virtually
7
![Page 8: Remote Access To Teach Gis Oct 2009](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102716/546eb091af795987318b4c82/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Reason an Issue
•Requires a Community College student be on Campus for assignments
•Reduces content which can be covered in a class to give time for laboratory experience
•Software (with expirations) installation problems took more time explaining to students how to install, instead of teaching content

Attempts at Solutions
•Using ArcIMS and web application on IMS Server▫Limited GIS, for the higher end required the
installing of a plug-in that was not easy to do, difficult to set-up IMS box
•Google Earth▫Limited GIS and data must be KML format
•ArcGIS Explorer▫Still limits GIS, but can add layer files

Solution 1
•Develop a web based terminal server at a low cost▫JCTC Professional IT staff▫No software to install▫Full functional version of ArcGIS 9.3.1▫Patch single copy as updates needed▫Other software the students might need to
complete the course▫Useful for all students not just virtual learners▫Meets license requirements (still uses license
server)

Problem 2
•Student spend a large amount of time finding base map information and files▫Providing Base maps for student application
via the web Eliminate many geo-projection issues
▫Provide a student repository for zipped files
▫Provide a shapefile library using geography, seen as a drive letter by students

Solution 2
•Develop Web base maps using an ArcGIS Server – geo image file
•Develop a SAN mass storage device accessible within the college network, Terminal server is within the network even though the student accesses it outside of the network
•Develop a website to download content that is simple to navigate
