[Qgis-user] QGIS Training Course For Biologists

[Colin D. MacLeod]

Apologies if this is not appropriate for the QGIS user list, but I figured some members of it might be interested in it.

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. 

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 task-oriented learning (TOL) approach 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.

All the best,

Colin
