We remind you that the registration period for the MOOC cycle "gvSIG for
Users" in English, offered by gvSIG Association in collaboration with
GISMAP, continues open.

This cycle is made up of three different Modules:
   - Module 1: "Introduction to GIS" (starting on the 4th of May 2015)
   - Module 2: "Layer Editing" (starting on the 25th of May 2015)
   - Module 3: "Raster Analysis" (starting on Autumn 2015)

It will lead participants to how to use and exploit the potentiality of
the open source software gvSIG while performing the most common GIS
activities. This Course is both addressed to beginners and skilled GIS
users who want to learn how to use this software.

The Course is open in continuous form and each module requires a
participants engagement of around thirty hours.

Participants can thus plan individually the time to allocate to the
course and complete all the scheduled activities without interfering
with their daily work.

This Course is completely free of charge except for those participants
asking for the corresponding credits of the gvSIG user certification
program from the gvSIG Association, that is submitted to the payment of
40 Euros for each module or 100 Euros for the whole cycle.
