[OSGeo-Discuss] Free course about Geographic Information Systems applied to Municipality Management

[Dirk Frigne]

Great!

The more reuse we can promote, the better.
When using the courses in a educational environment, it would be good to
evaluate the material and leave suggestions for improvement.
The Idea of GiCases is also the idea of *collaborative learning* and
*collaborative creation*. Values which are already tested and used in an
(open source) community context.

Looking forward to your material,
all the best,
Dirk.
