Book Description
This workbook introduces and scaffolds key GIS concepts without relying on canned datasets and projects. The intent is to make introductory GIS lessons more relevant to students and emphasize skill transfer. Datasets for use with the workbook lessons may be curated by a course instructor or by the individual learner. Lessons use a problem-solving framework based on the Seven Stages of Action model, derived from usability studies. They connect the software tasks with concepts from the open textbook Essentials of Geographic Information Systems by Jonathan Campbell and Michael Shin (2011). As an Open Educational Resource, this workbook is available for free to all learners, reducing financial barriers that result in educational inequities.
