Challenges and Advancement in Global GIS Education Presentation
Esri has been a supporter of the remote sensing community and of the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) for many years. Joseph Kerski of Esri will be presenting at the 2021 ASPRS conference with a focus on Challenges and advancement in Global GIS Education. For more about this year's conference, see: http://conferences.asprs.org/asprs-2021/sessions/).
I can make this presentation available after the conference for anyone, upon request, who may find it useful--slides and the complete narrative. I have placed a video of this presentation here.
My session will take place at the following time:

Author Affiliation(s): Esri and University of Denver
Session: RESILIENT GEOSPATIAL EDUCATION IN THE COVID19 ERA AND BEYOND
Why and how is the university community of practice in GIS instruction adjusting and reinventing and redefining geospatial education in these disruptive COVID times? This adjustment includes considerations of data sources, instructional approaches, virtualization, portfolio and other assessment instruments, field work and development of web mapping applications, including including challenges and successes. This presentation will also discuss the expansion of geospatial technology to other disciplines and areas on campus, such as in campus facilities, and in data science, digital humanities, business, health sciences, planning, and civil engineering. This presentation will highlight the implications that these changes will have on student learning, instructor engagement, the health of programs in academia, and on society.
