<p>Here is the answer to my inquiry. US colleagues may find this at least interesting but others can also express their opinions. As Lori says we should certainly talk.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Greetings Sergio,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Thank you for your inquiry. You raise an interesting question. My initial reaction was yes, this is an AGOL-exclusive project. However, I’ve thought about it and we might be open to other systems. Allow me to
explain my concerns.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Before we go much further, I notice you are from Uruguay. The POD program is funded by the National Science Foundation, which is funded by taxpayer monies. Facilitators and teachers who attend the POD Teacher
Workshops must be American citizens or permanent resident aliens to receive stipends from this project.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Now the explanation: all of our instruction and materials assume use of AGOL Org accounts. Since this is a research project, we ask Facilitators to run POD Teacher Workshops with integrity. We’ve laid out 7 design
principles they must follow; none are software-dependent. I think someone could conceivably accomplish the goals of POD with another GIS, assuming the software allows for robust geospatial analyses. However, changing the software would require the Facilitator
to rewrite most of the instructional materials and that is no easy task (I think the Facilitation Guide alone is over 200 pages).
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The next layer of complexity is our research hinges on teachers implementing the Geospatial Inquiry lessons in classrooms. If GIS becomes so tedious to use and prep data that it doesn’t get into classrooms, the
whole Workshop is for naught. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">If you are currently working with US teachers who are already comfortable using a GIS other than ArcGIS online, that’s a different story. We should talk.</span><span style="color:#1F497D"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Regards and Happy New Year!</span></p>
