[Ica-sdistandards] Fwd: ICA-CET workshop at AutoCarto 2020 May 19th in Redlands, CA

Cartographic and Geospatial Information Education: from Classroom to
Anywhere

Conventionally, cartography has been mostly taught in classrooms with
lectures and exercises, aiming to enhancing peoples’ map reading
capabilities and map making skills. Nowadays, the general public has access
to the wide spread of web map services, navigation apps on smart phones and
open source software and datasets at no cost. Background knowledge of
students entering professional training on cartography today is very
different from those ten years ago. The body of knowledge for cartography
and GIS has been transforming continuously by incorporating new ideas from
applications and interdisciplinary research. Suites of online courses
incorporate some of the new concepts and technologies and make teaching
cartography and GIS more flexible and practical. Educators have been
conducting reflections on these changes, which can be observed from
publications in many conferences and journals.

This workshop serves as a forum to share the latest practices and insights
on cartographic and GIS education in a rapidly changing landscape. The
topics can include but limited to new course contents, curricular design,
incorporation of online courses, education resources using open source
software and datasets, teaching experience to non-specialists.
