Title: A Scalable Skills Certification Program in Geographic Information Systems GIS


1
National Visiting Committee Meeting 2007
April 16, 2007, San Diego
Year Ahead (SDSU team works in 4th Year and
Student Learning Assessment)
San Diego State University
2
Research Activities
  • One major task in the fourth year will be the
    evaluation of the project effectiveness. SDSU
    research team will focus on three major subjects
    for the evaluations
  • Project website evaluation We will continue to
    analyze the weblogs to create bi-monthly report
    to evaluate how many users have been accessed the
    project websites, and how many times do the GIS
    modules have been downloads (bi-monthly), how
    many GIS maps have been viewed. Also, in the
    project website, the user feedback web pages will
    be monitored.
  • GIS CAREER Awareness Modules evaluation We will
    calculate how many students have used this
    modules (each new users will need a login-name
    and password to access the web GIS system). How
    many students have been completed the learning
    modules (to receive the Certificates). In each
    students answers, we will also collect students
    feedbacks and the teachers feedback.
  • High School Teacher Workshop evaluation The
    SDSU team will continue to create high school
    teacher workshops and each workshop will have
    questionnaire to get teachers direct feedback.
    We will compile these questionnaires and provide
    a summary report for our project.

An Integrated GIS Education Program
  • High Schools (GIS 1c/2c)
  • Community Colleges
  • (Mesa College GIS 110, 111, 112)
  • Universities (four years undergraduate and
    graduate study M.A., M.S. and Ph.D. programs)
    General Education GEOG 104
  • Advanced GEOG 381, 484, 584, CS 537, CS 657.
  • (Seamless GIS Education Integration)
  • Students can continue the learning of GIS
    technology and get some transfer credits between
    the three levels.

GEOG 104 Improvement and Articulation
(http//map.sdsu.edu/geog104)
Make more articulation work with other community
colleges (Mesa College, Grossmont College,
Southwestern College)

Research Activities Object 5
  • Improve and Revise Web-based GIS Career awareness
    program.
  • Create more connection to Education Content
    Standards and Goals
  • Upgrade to new version of software and tools
  • Correct errors and mistakes in the modules
  • Streamline the paper certificate production and
    distribution.
