[Qgis-user] Ideas for an intro to QGIS for beginners (mostly wildlife ecologists and conservationists)

[maning sambale]

Hi,

I am requested to present and conduct a brief workshop (3 hours) to a
symposium mostly composed of wildlife ecologists and conservationists.

My initial plan is to:
 - present basic qgis interface
 - create simple point data (from sampling transect plots using
delimited text plugin)
 - create map layouts (map composer) and simple webmaps (openlayers plugin)
 - promote foss-geo philosophies (along the side)

I am aware that some users here are on a similar field (wildlife
ecology and conservation), I am posting to collect more ideas on what
specific exercises I should prepare for these audience.
 Advance thanks!

cheers,
maning
