CyberGIS Curriculum Workshop for Synthesizing Education Materials

网络地理信息系统是指以先进的网络基础设施为基础的地理信息科学和系统，在过去几年中作为一个跨学科领域出现，旨在提高研究生产力和实现科学突破。CyberGIS代表了大计算和数据时代的新一代地理信息系统，用于推进数据密集型知识发现、可视化和可视化分析以及协作式问题解决和决策。虽然网络地理信息系统的研究在许多领域取得了进展，但了解不同社区对网络地理信息系统的广泛教育和劳动力发展需求变得越来越重要。该项目将调查网络地理信息系统的课程方面，并邀请领域专家和利益相关者代表制定路线图，以制定课程指导方针，并提出建议，供美国和国际上的本科生和研究生核心课程采用。这一讲习班的工作将采用社区驱动的方法，了解如何综合围绕网络地理信息系统和网络基础设施的跨学科教育材料。因此，研讨会将以社区以往的努力为基础，注重社区参与，特别是在评估课程开发和采用的新模式方面。该项目意在吸引工业界的兴趣。

CyberGIS, defined as geographic information science and systems (GIS) based on advanced cyberinfrastructure, has emerged during the past several years as a interdisciplinary field to improve research productivity and enable scientific breakthroughs. CyberGIS represents a new-generation GIS in the era of big compute and data for advancing data-intensive knowledge discovery, visualization and visual analytics, and collaborative problem solving and decision-making. While cyberGIS research is making advancements in a number of domains, it has become increasingly important to understand broad education and workforce development needs for cyberGIS across various communities. This project will investigate curriculum aspects of cyberGIS and engage domain experts and stakeholder representatives to develop a roadmap leading to curriculum guidelines and resulting in recommendations for adoption in undergraduate and graduate core courses in the U.S. and internationally. This workshop effort will employ a community-driven approach to understanding how to synthesize interdisciplinary education materials revolving around cyberGIS and cyberinfrastructure. Therefore, the workshop will build on previous community efforts and focus on community engagement, particularly in assessing new models of curriculum development and adoption. The project intends to engage interests from industry.
