The lab procedure, generally:
In part 0, students will upload some data to an ftp space on a test server. The data will then be configured as data stores in GeoServer in parts 1 and 2.
In part 1, students will configure (and test) vector data in GeoServer.
In part 2, students will configure (and test) a raster [...]
The lab procedure, generally:
In Part 1 of this “lab” you’ll write a short review of your experience with your file sharing service — what did you like about it, what did you not like. Be specific, but don’t go over 1 page.
Then, imagine that the tool you chose was a front-end to [...]
The lab procedure, generally:
In part 1, students will do some basic data rendering in OpenLayers
In part 2, students will be oriented to kml for Google Earth, then edit several templates that will ultimately pipe custom-made data into same.
In part 3, students will briefly revisit OpenLayers.
Length:
There will probably be time left at the end of class [...]
The lab procedure, generally:
In part 1, students will be introduced to the basic operations and concepts of Model Builder by following a tutorial that covers several of MB’s more powerful features.
In part 2, students will be gently introduced to Kepler workflow software by following a tutorial that covers the basics of Kepler’s operation (but [...]
The lab procedure, generally:
In part 1, students will step through several ESRI-produced modules that introduce various metadata techniques in ArcGIS.
In part 2, students will begin writing their own metadata, albeit very (very!) limited.
Length:
The work should be completed in the allotted time for our lab.
The major objective(s):
ArcGIS is very likely the tool most students will be [...]
The lab procedure, generally:
In part 1, students will be introduced to QGIS, an open source GIS package.
In part 2, students will be introduced to uDig, another open source GIS package.
Length:
The work can probably be completed in the allotted time for our lab (part 2 is quite short).
The major objective(s):
to begin interacting with non-ArcGIS desktop GIS [...]
The lab procedure, generally:
Students will follow and execute ESRI’s “Learning ArcGIS Desktop” as self-paced introduction to ArcGIS software (often considered the de facto software for GIS).
Length:
The modules are designed to be self-paced. Students are encouraged to take their time and explore the software (as directed by the tutorial and by following their own curiosities). The [...]
The lab procedure, generally:
In part 1, students will revisit GEON, where they will identify and interact with web service resources there.
In part 2, students will visit and use the same resource but from the ultimate source (outside of the GEON portal structure).
In Part 3, students will visit the same resource from within a desktop GIS [...]
The lab procedure, generally:
In part 1, students will walk through a light weight MySQL tutorial that introduces (well, reminds) them of some of the basic concepts and benefits of using a database rather than, say, a spreadsheet document.
In part 2, students will visit SQLzoo.net, where they will see many of these concepts repeated, but with [...]
The lab procedure, generally:
Students will select three portals in which to search; will perform queries for specified datasets; will report their results, procedures, and impressions. Students will also query for data that are appropriate to their own field in a portal they specify and will report similarly.
Length:
The work should be completed in the allotted time [...]
