<DIV>Apologies if this is not appropriate for the QGIS user list, but I figured
some members of it might be interested in it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>GIS In Ecology will be running a 2 day training course titled ‘An
Introduction To Using QGIS In Biological Research’ in Glasgow, Scotland on the
30-31 March 2015. GIS In Ecology specialises in providing training and advice to
using GIS in all aspects of biological and ecological research. Having
previously only offered courses aimed at ArcGIS users, I am pleased say that
from now on, we will be offering an alternative based on this freely available
GIS software, and by providing this training course, we hope to promote the use
of QGIS amongst biologists/ecologists. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The course will involve a series of background sessions on general apsects
of GIS and its use in biological research, but the main element will be a series
of practical exercises where attendees will work with real biological data to
complete a series of tasks which biologists need to do on a regular basis as
part of their research. As with all our courses, it will be taught by biologists
for biologists, and using the type of language biologists are already familiar
with. In addition, it will use GIS In Ecology’s <A
href="http://www.gisinecology.com/The_TOL_Approach.htm">task-oriented learning
(TOL) approach</A> that has proved very successful for training biologists how
to use GIS in their work. While this is a commerical course, a portion of the
course fees will be donated to QGIS to help support its future development.
