9354476 Foote This project is developing hypermedia-based instructional modules to support a curriculum initiative called The Geographer's Craft. The Geographer's Craft is a two-semester course and model for introductory training in geographical methods, and is based upon a problem-solving, integrated approach to the teaching of cartography, GIS, spatial statistics, and remote sensing. It also addresses real-world issues with a range of textually "appropriate" technical and conceptual tools and stresses independent thought and reasoning skills. Prototype modules are being created to test software designs and once a full suite of materials is complete, the Geographer's Craft will become the core introductory course required of all majors and minors. The project is also expected to introduce all geography students to the latest research techniques, provide a means for non-majors to gain background in valuable skills that complement their studies in other disciplines, and prepare students for upper-division studies and advanced courses in geographical techniques.

9354476 Foote这个项目正在开发基于超媒体的教学模块，以支持名为地理学家的工艺课程倡议。地理学家的手艺是一个两个学期的课程和地理方法的入门培训模式，是基于解决问题的综合方法来教学制图，地理信息系统，空间统计和遥感。它还解决了现实世界的问题与一系列的文本“适当”的技术和概念工具，并强调独立思考和推理能力。正在创建原型模块来测试软件设计，一旦一整套材料完成，地理学家的工艺将成为所有专业和未成年人所需的核心入门课程。预计该项目还将向所有地理专业的学生介绍最新的研究技术，为非专业学生提供一种手段，以获得宝贵的技能，补充他们在其他学科的学习背景，并为学生的高年级学习和地理技术高级课程做好准备。
