The Geographer's Craft: Hypermedia Material for Teaching Geographical Techniques in the Liberal Arts Curriculum

9354476 Foote该项目正在开发基于超媒体的教学模块，以支持一项名为《地理学家手艺》的课程倡议。地理学家手艺是一门为期两个学期的课程和地理方法入门培训的模式，以解决问题的综合方法为基础，教授制图、地理信息系统、空间统计和遥感。它还使用一系列文本上“适当”的技术和概念工具来解决现实世界的问题，并强调独立思考和推理技能。正在创建原型模块来测试软件设计，一旦一整套材料完成，《地理学家手艺》将成为所有专业和辅修课程的核心入门课程。该项目还预计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获得宝贵技能的手段，以补充他们在其他学科的学习，并为学生学习高级课程和地理技术高级课程做好准备。

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.
