Living Textbook Platform
From the GIS&T BoK Living Textbook platform, all Topics can be accessed directly through robust search functionality, or accessed via an animated knowledge graph that depicts connections across the BoK content.
Each Topic is available as an easy-to-read version of its description, learning objectives, and other elements.
This brief guide (pdf) to the Living Textbook platform will assist in navigating the interface.
This video (~ 10 minutes) explains how to take advantage of this platform.
Visualization & Search Tool
The primary purpose of the Visualization & Search tool is to support search and discovery across the full and current collection of Topics within the Geographic Information Science & Technologies (GIS&T) Body of Knowledge (BoK). The complete collection is represented within the color-coded graphic. Topics can be accessed via the graphic, the search, or the alphabetical lists.
