2012 Education Track, Designing and Developing a New Online Graduate Geospati...

GIS in the Rockies

Designing and developing a new online graduate geospatial program presents a unique opportunity to shape an innovative curriculum. Given that most Master’s degree programs are comprised of 12 classes or 36 credits, building a graduate level geospatial program requires significant thought and compromise. This is particularly true in geospatial education in which the curriculum must mirror the cross-disciplinary nature of the geospatial profession. This paper describes the design and development of a new online geospatial graduate program at American Sentinel University. Our Master of Geospatial Information Systems (MGIS) was designed for working professionals who have domain expertise in fields other than GIS. The MGIS will provide these individuals with the geospatial skills and knowledge necessary to incorporate geospatial concepts and practice into their professional lives. Students that end their studies upon completion of the initial 5 classes (15 credits) will be awarded a GIS Graduate Certificate. Overall, our program consists of courses that are designed to blend core geospatial fundamentals with dynamic geospatial technologies and GIS applications. The program courses will be discussed in the context of advice from industry experts, advisory boards, geospatial competency models and accrediting standards. Finally, strategies for assessing and maintaining program quality and relevancy will be outlined.

2016 education track: r evolving the classroom by jennifer muha

GIS in the Rockies

This document describes a flipped classroom model used in a GIS course. In a flipped classroom, instructional content is delivered outside of class time through online videos and readings. Class time is used for hands-on activities and addressing students' questions. The author flipped her introductory GIS course by having students watch lecture videos and complete readings, quizzes, and discussions through an online wiki before class. This allowed for more lab and interactive work during class to reinforce concepts. Student reviews of this approach were positive, noting benefits like learning at their own pace and having more one-on-one support from the instructor.

This April, Citizen Science Month and the 50th anniversary of Earth day will coincide, leading to a world of opportunities for STEAM engagement at your library. By hosting Earth science programs that are age inclusive, you can help patrons see your library as a place for engaging family learning. Join the STAR Library Network and guest presenter Jenny Shonk (Finger Lakes Library System, NY) for this sixty minute webinar that will showcase hands-on, multi-generational programming ideas with an Earth science twist. In addition to going over tips, ideas, and resources, we’ll also turn to you – the audience – for a facilitated discussion so that we can all “beg, borrow, and steal” multi-generational programming ideas, resources, and expertise from each other!

RE-IMAGINING SPACE OUTREACH - 100 YEAR STARSHIP SYMPOSIUM 2013 - Kathleen D. ...

Ktoerpe

I propose an expansive, developmental and organic space outreach model that is simultaneously learner and concept-centered. It is connective and comprehensive, while flexible enough to "grow up" with us as we progress in our understanding of what it means to be a spacefaring civilization and people. This outreach model emerges from the multi-disciplinary STEM and STEAM fields engaged in space research and exploration; engages audiences as active contributors and problem-solvers; and evolves over time with an adaptive focus on the process, rather than individual content, of space education and outreach.

GISCO Fall 2018: Bike Network Equity: A GIS and Qualitative Analysis of Ameri...

GIS in the Rockies

The equitable distribution of bike paths ensuring safe cycling are inconsistently planned and evaluated. For residents to fully utilize bikes, it is essential that bike networks equitably serve all urban populations. In the absence of impartial evaluation, the construction of biking infrastructure may continue to perpetuate cycles of disadvantage. By measuring the spatial equity of six urban biking networks using GIS (San Francisco, Chicago, Minneapolis, Madison, Boulder and College Station) and interviewing transportation planners, we demonstrate that equity can play a role in planning. We provide spatial and qualitative analyses revealing varying relationships between urban transport planning and the relative equity of bike networks in major cities.

2018 GIS in the Rockies Vendor Showcase (Th): The Data Driven Government

GIS in the Rockies

Today, GIS is not just software. It’s data. It’s people. It’s getting to the answer. Quicker. Data is expanding. More users demand access to information but don’t consume the information in the same way as a GIS professional would. But as curators and managers of geospatial information, GIS professionals are looking to support the entire organizational needs not just those in GIS Departments. The chief information officer is acutely aware of how much geospatial data is being collected; now, how do city and state governments leverage these data for smarter, more effective government services. Here are five pillars of the data-driven government to consider: 1. Extensibility: Whatever the choice, the platform must be customizable for users beyond the GIS department. Knowledge workers need access to geospatial technology too. 2. Usability: GIS is a complex tool. However, today’s desktop platform must be adaptable to many types of workflows. 3. Flexibility: The next generation of geospatial solutions must be ready to support the desktop, cloud, SaaS as well as mobile platforms. GIS must adapt to the user’s preferred IT environment…not the other way around. 4. Compatibility: GIS must work in mixed environments of open source and commercial software and ingest data from myriad sources. 5. Expandability: Can your GIS environment work in the world of big data? Smart cities depend on ingesting sensor data produced at high rates that require geoprocessing on a scale not thought possible until recently.

2018 GIS in Development: Partnerships Lead to Additional Recreational Content...

GIS in the Rockies

In 2010, the USGS National Geospatial Program (NGP) began producing the new US Topo map series. The first maps were relatively simple, but quality and content have continually improved. Recreational features, especially trails, are among the most often requested features, but have been difficult to add due to lack of national datasets. Some trails in National Forests were added in 2014. In 2015 the USGS partnered with the International Mountain Biking Association (REI-Adventure Projects) to include trails outside of Federal lands. A pilot project with the National Park Service in 2016 added trails, visitor centers, trailheads, and campgrounds to US Topo maps covering the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. 2018 US Topo maps include trails, trailheads, campgrounds, picnic areas, visitor centers, and other recreation information on selected Federal lands, using data provided by the relevant agencies. Continuing into the future, the USGS is working on partnerships with states and other organizations including The National Map Corps to expand recreational features to non-Federal lands. All such data will be in the public domain and published in The National Map geospatial databases.

2018 GIS in Recreation: Adding Value to Colorado the Beautiful Initiative carr

GIS in the Rockies

The main point of this abstract is increasing the value of the current Colorado the Beautiful Initiative through additional data points gathered by mapping the trail systems with the use of unmanned aerial systems and 3rd party software to build the additional data points to be included in the current mapped environment. I have used Unmanned Aerial Systems and 3rd Party Mapping Software Companies (DroneDeploy, Precision Hawk, Pix4D, and DroneMapper) to build sample data to support my work I have been able to create sample maps, photos, video of certain trail sections to show how additional data sets can be included to increase the value of the initiative for both the public and government sectors With the data I have collected, I can discuss several points of interest with the conference. I can show how the data can be utilized to benefit the public sector: Safety, knowledge, and planning and the government sector: trail maintenance, anticipating future problems- heavy traffic areas or lost hikers, plant health - fire danger and erosion, and intersection of multiple agency and private land area issues.

2018 GIS in Recreation: A Creek Runs Through It

GIS in the Rockies

The City of Manitou Springs is planning a creek walk along Fountain Creek, an aspirational goal for over two decades. The question is: how to unite a diverse set of stakeholders with competing interests to agree on a preferred route, that incorporates their values and priorities? The answer was to use geodesign. Geodesign is a powerful participatory planning method that uses stakeholder input and geospatial analytics to show the possible impact of design scenarios. It gets its strength in two ways: 1) from the diversity of participants—proving the adage that two heads are indeed better than one—and 2) from the power of spatial analytics, which allow the visualization of the world both as it is, and as it could be. The presentation will focus on how geodesign methods where used to define stakeholder groups, clarify values, and prioritize criteria to help decision makers evaluate planning scenarios. Esri ArcGIS Pro was utilized to develop models—such as bikeability, walkability, ADA compliance, and more—that were used to both visualize and evaluate the impacts of each route segment. The spatial analysis resulted in an innovative solution that addressed both the concerns of both government and public stakeholders. Attendees of this session will learn how to use geodesign as a systems approach for informed decision-making. More importantly, they will learn how to use spatial technology to guide conversations among diverse stakeholders to come up with plans that people understand and are happy with.

The document discusses how the USGS's geospatial datasets and services will be affected by the modernization of the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS). It notes that elevation datasets associated with 3DEP will be most impacted. Preparations include requiring machine-readable coordinate systems and messaging support for GPS on benchmarks. There is excitement about improved geoid and datum models aligning better with global systems. However, there is also concern about the challenges of transforming vast existing NAD83 datasets, such as 11 trillion lidar points. Key needs are the NADCON8 transformation tool and its incorporation into various software.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...

indexPub

The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
