[OSGeo-Edu] FOS GIS for Teaching - ArcGIS vs. Free desktop GIS : GIScience 2010 extended abstract

[Stefan Steiniger]

Hei all,

maybe the extended abstract (1500 words) that I attach is of interest to
some of you: "Teaching GIScience with Free and Open Source
Software? -- A first Assessment" [1]. It got accepted for GIScience 2010 
in Zurich, next week, but unfortunately only as poster - despite good 
reviews.

If someone knows of similar papers, please let me/us know. There was for
instance one at the last AGILE conference (2010) but I could only found
a not downloadable abstract of it [2] and also not a full paper.

Sorry for not having contributed much to the list activities lately.

cheers from Calgary,
stefan
