ELOGeo main collaborators are Open Source Geospatial Foundation, Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), Ordnance Survey, Open Nottingham, International Cartographic Association (ICA) and gvSIG Association. More details of ELOGeo at http://elogeo.nottingham.ac.uk/index.html Over the next few months we will be adding many course materials and other resources to the repository for the benefit of the wider community. The learning material preparation guidelines are available at the ELOGeo site. The ICA Commission on Open Source Geospatial Technologies strongly supports ELOGeo initiative as part of its education and training agenda and we welcome contributions from all interested for this. We look forward for your support and active participation for this initiative. Online coursework through Penn State 04/28/2011
Penn State offers excellent online courses and now has a program through the Open Educational Initiative (http://open.ems.psu.edu/) where you can access the online course material for free, but you do not get any instructor feedback/interaction or support or academic credit if you don't purchase the course, but can read through all the material. For those of you interested in Python: https://www.e-education.psu.edu/geog485/node/93. ModelBuilder Introduction at 12 pm Eastern Time on Monday, April 18. This session will cover Geoprocessing and ModelBuilder basics. The course will start with Geoprocessing because understanding ESRI’s geoprocessing framework is important to effectively creating models, and will then move into the procedures for constructing processes in ModelBuilder. Time permitting; the presenter will demonstrate creating a simple model. ModelBuilder Parameters and Variables at 12 pm Eastern Time on Monday, May 16. This session will cover more advanced ModelBuilder functions including iteration, building process models, and using Python scripts in a model. All models will be based around habitat analysis scenarios. To join these events, all the information you need is on the SCGIS Webinar page at: http://www.scgis.org/Lev3Page.aspx?Page3ID=78 AAG Community College Travel Grants Due November 1 Support from this grant program is awarded to outstanding students from community colleges, junior colleges, city colleges, or similar two-year educational institutions to attend the next AAG Annual Meeting.
