Northern Illinois University's Advanced Geospatial Laboratory Develops Virtual GIS Notebook 1.19.04

Intergraph Mapping and Geospatial Solutions announced the Advanced Geospatial Laboratory of Northern Illinois University, an Intergraph registered research laboratory, has completed development of a web-based Virtual GIS Notebook that promotes GIS studies. The project, funded and supported through Intergraph's education grant program, was recognized at GeoSpatial World 2003 with a Best Practices Award to laud innovative geospatial programs in the classroom. The notebook was designed as a resource for individuals with little or no GIS experience and is an exclusive privilege of Intergraph GeoSpatial User Community (IGUC) membership. The online notebook contains all the information needed to assist those with an interest in learning more about GIS. It includes the basics of GIS - from data input to management, from analysis to map and web presentation - the uses of GIS and GIS research and development topics. To use the Virtual GIS Notebook, IGUC members can simply visit http://imgs.intergraph.com/education/vgisn and log in with their member number.

A flexible tool that can enrich GIS understanding in corporate environments, the notebook provides a structured easy-to-understand primer using common terminology and pictures, diagrams and screen captures from Intergraph's GeoMedia Professional product to more easily explain GIS processes. An ideal resource across corporate, individual or education environments, the notebook has accompanying presentations that highlight specific subject matter and include chapter quizzes to test acquired knowledge. The notebook can be modified for workforce development in conjunction with an organization's local datasets. Also, ideal for distance learning environments, the material can be used at a teacher's direction or can be viewed at an individual's own pace via the Internet. The notebook is expected to be used in the geography curriculum on the Northern Illinois University campus.

Completion of the materials will take an average of 60 hours and equates to 1.5 education points toward GISCI certification. Undergraduate and graduate students directed by Philip Young, research associate of the Advanced Geospatial Laboratory of Northern Illinois University, wrote sections of the notebook, as well as provided information validation and field work.
