Using Remote Sensing, Image Processing and Geographic Information Systems in Faculty Enhancment and Curriculum Development

与社区创新技术转移学院(CCITT)合作，Foothill学院计划在连续两年为社区学院和高级机构的教师举办八个地区性夏季研讨会。讲习班为教师提供四项技术方面的培训：遥感/图像处理(RS/IP)和地理信息系统/地理定位系统(GIS/GPS)。该项目在整个项目过程中为大约180名教师提供服务。该项目的目标如下：利用CCITT开发的课程模块，培训本科生教师使用RS/IP和地理信息系统/全球定位系统。开发额外的课程模块，将四种技术整合到每个参与者的教学领域中。指导教师使用互联网及其资源开发使用四项技术的课程。培养对通过这些技术重塑学科的前沿思想和应用的认识。在国家、地区和地方各级改编和传播本科生教师学员开发的课程单元。在本国机构制定课程的同时，提高参与者之间的沟通与合作水平。

With the Community Colleges for Innovative Technology Transfer, Inc. (CCITT), Foothill College is planning and holding eight regional summer workshops during two consecutive years for faculty from community colleges and senior institutions. The workshops are providing faculty with training in four technologies: remote sensing/image processing (RS/IP) and geographic information systems/geographic positioning systems (GIS/GPS). The project is serving approximately 180 individual faculty over the course of the project. The project's objectives are as follows: To train undergraduate faculty in the use of RS/IP and GIS/GPS using curriculum modules developed by CCITT. To develop additional curriculum modules integrating the four technologies into each participant's instructional area. To instruct faculty in the use of the Internet and its resources in developing curriculum using the four technologies. To develop an awareness of leading edge ideas and applications that are reshaping the disciplines through these technologies. To adapt and disseminate the curriculum modules developed by the undergraduate faculty participants on the national, regional and local level. To increase the level of communication and cooperation among participants while developing curricula at their home institutions.
