UCGIS Open Space research discussion forum - TBA
We will explore research topics in an Open Space discussion
forum so bring your thrilling ideas and burning research
questions with you to this session where we discuss the
accomplishments of current GIScience research and consider what
future opportunities are available for UCGIS members. Possible
topics could include e.g., cyberGIS, mobile GIS, spatiotemporal
GIS, among many others. A great opportunity to ask questions,
contribute to discussions, and start to build a network of
researchers interested in your research area. Bring your
suggestions for topics with you! |

UCGIS BoK2 Workshop - Brandon Plewe (Education Committee Chair,
Moderator) Introduction to BoK2 Project - Sean Ahearn |
|
9:00am |
BoKprint mapping exercise - A team of four GIScientists have
begun a project on behalf of UCGIS to build a framework for
continuing the revision and application of the GIS&T Body of
Knowledge (BoK) (2006). To date, we have been experimenting
with tools for organizing and editing the BoK collaboratively,
and for mapping the scope of a person, course, job, etc. onto
the BoK. This is what we are calling a "BoKprint:" what
elements of the BoK do you know (to varying degrees)? What
elements are covered in your courses to one degree or another?
Bring your laptop to the workshop, and test our tools to find
out! We are especially looking for your feedback on the tools,
on the potential roles of BoKprinting in the GIS community, and
on places where the first edition of the BoK needs to be
improved. (Rooms to be announced) |
