do not have the expertise in programming language that I should (I know enough Python to be dangerous). I am working on it. However I still want to help.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Urban Science working group:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">1) Great to see the edits/additions on the wiki [1]. Keep them coming.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">2) I have an idea. (sorry for a long note, but I don't want to add this to the wiki, at least yet). <o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have added my colleague, Alexander 'Sasha' Stepanov to this email thread. He is the 'GIS Architect' for our university campus. Sasha and I have had an idea of offering a different type of advanced GIS course for students that follows
new pedagogies: "flipped" (uses online open access information read outside of class), team-based learning, and service learning. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sasha's enterprise GIS for our campus is amazing. He has been emphasizing to me that it is a "small city" and there is an opportunity for students to do projects working with him on different "city management" GIS applications. For example,
last semester we had two students do campus GIS projects on Tree Management, and also Recycling Management. (this was using ESRI technologies). <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">What I am wondering is how many others on this thread are at universities that are using GIS to manage their campuses. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">If there are some, I wonder about the idea of an educational grant proposal to support our network that would:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">1) Establish "City Analytics" systems to support our campuses;<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">2) Develop parallel "flipped, Team Based learning, Service learning" classes run at the same time/semester across a network of campuses;<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">3) Include some webinars that all our classes would attend;<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">4) Build together a MOOC with open educational material that we would all use and share in these courses.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">5) We could test the learning of people just doing the MOOC versus the MOOC and service learning as a research question.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Reactions? Anyone working at a university campus who would be interested in these ideas?<o:p></o:p></p>
