Workshop Support: Building a Community Vision and Plan for Data and Medeling Driven Geoinformatics Curriculum Modules for Hydrology Education

本次研讨会汇集了一批来自工程、地球科学和地球科学界的专家和实践者。研讨会参与者正在讨论数据驱动的建模和可视化方法是否以及如何最好地用于改善水文学教育，并形成共识。具体而言，研讨会参与者将1)确定对跨领域数据、建模和可视化数字资源的具体需求，这些资源对更广泛的水文学教育界有价值；2)制定关于如何弥合高级课程所需的数据驱动应用程序与更普通课程所需应用程序之间差距的策略；3)确定社区网络基础设施的关键设计标准，教师可以通过该基础设施发现、下载、发布、互联、修改、审查和协作开发与水文相关的数据驱动网络学习课程材料。4)确定让更大的社区参与有效使用数据驱动课程材料的最佳途径，并实现广泛传播、采用和使用。讲习班正在编写一份报告，作为一个起点，建立一个更广泛的社区努力，利用现有的研究和教学资源，在水文学教育中开发和使用地理信息学模块。此外，报告还指出了现有资源的不足之处，并指出了今后开展研究和发展活动以改进水文学教育的机会。

This workshop is bringing together a selected group of experts and practitioners from the engineering, geosciences, and earth sciences communities. The workshop participants are discussing and developing consensus about whether and how data-driven modeling and visualization approaches can best be used to improve hydrology education. Specifically, workshop participants are 1) identifying specific needs for cross-cutting data, modeling, and visualization digital resources that are valuable to the broader hydrology education community, 2) developing a strategy about how to bridge the gap between data-driven applications needed in upper division courses and those required in more general courses, 3) identifying key design criteria for a community cyberinfrastructure by which instructors can discover, download, publish, interconnect, modify, review, and collaboratively develop curriculum materials for data-driven cyberlearning related to hydrology, and 4) identifying the best ways to engage the larger community in the effective use of data-driven curricular materials and achieve broad dissemination, adoption, and use.The workshop is producing a report that serves as a starting point to build a larger community wide effort to harness the available research and teaching resources for developing and using geoinformatics modules in hydrology education. In addition, the report also identifies the shortcomings of existing resources, and identifies opportunities for future research and development activities to improve hydrology education.
