[Geo4All] Participatory webinar Friday Nov 10 7:00 PM GMT Collaborative education research?

Fri Nov 3 13:22:35 PDT 2017

Hi everyone,
Last Monday we had a fantastic presentation by Carolina Arias and Carlos Castro through the GeoForAll Iberoamérica  webinar series on preparing educational materials for geomatics courses. An interesting approach on how to create effective hands-on exercises and materials for supporting geomatics courses using FOSS4G.

Kind reminder a week from today, Friday Nov 10 7:00 PM GMT we have the following participatory webinar: Can we initiate some GeoForAll collaborative education_research?

Can we initiate some GeoForAll collaborative education_research?

We undoubtedly agree: The GeoForAll network is terrific. We have ~120 labs scattered throughout the world, we've identified some collaborative research and education areas (e.g., OpenCitySmart, GeoAgriculture), and there are some significant collaboration going on across nodes, such as the NASA Europa Challenge. But we may have only scratched the surface on what we can, collectively, accomplish. Can we do even better?

In this participatory webinar, Charlie Schweik of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, will be posing the question to the GeoForAll community: Can we initiate and "incubate" some GeoForAll collaborative research or educational projects? After presenting this idea in more detail, we will open the webinar to community discussion and how to possibly move, collectively, forward

Subject: [Geo4All] Please share the Philosophy of Openness in Geospatial Science  and Education on GIS Day and other Geo events

Dear colleagues,

It  is over a decade now since we started working on the philosophy of Openness in Geospatial Science  and Education. The pace of change in the GIS in the last decade towards Openness has been beyond even my expectations.

May i request all who are taking part in various Geo events (Geography Awareness Week, OSM Geo Week, GIS day etc ) to  make use of the opportunity to promote Open Principles in GeoEducation by sharing information on GeoForAll and welcoming those interested to be part of Open Principles in Science and Education. Please share the  pledge for  supporting Open Principles for Science and Education for building a better world for everyone.

The ideas are summarized at https://www.slideshare.net/SuchithAnand/the-future-of-geo-is-open

We welcome everyone to support Open Principles for Science and Education for building a better world for everyone.

The Future of Geo is For Everyone...

Best wishes,

Suchith
