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

与社区学院创新技术转移公司（CCITT）合作，Foothill学院计划连续两年为社区学院和高级机构的教师举办八次地区性暑期研讨会。讲习班向教员提供四种技术方面的培训：遥感/图像处理和地理信息系统/地理定位系统。该项目在项目过程中为大约180名教师提供服务。该项目的目标如下：通过CCITT开发的课程模块，培训本科教师使用RS/IP和GIS/GPS。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。指导教师如何使用互联网及其资源，利用这四种技术开发课程。培养通过这些技术重塑学科的前沿思想和应用的意识。在国家、区域和地方各级调整和传播由本科教师参与者制定的课程模块。提高学员之间的交流与合作水平，同时在其本国院校开发课程。

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.
