Hi all, Helena Mitasova wrote:
I have been promising Charlie to put this under OSGeo Edu svn for a long time, but I keep updating and improving it so it is never finished - I guess it will never be so I may as well upload it. I have created NCSU directory there and we started a coastal lidar data analysis tutorial -http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/education/UnderDevelopment/(see more about the edu svn here http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Subversion_edu_instructions)
Great discussion thread and let's indeed pick it up in the edu group. Helena, your side by side set of assignments and solutions looks great and thanks for your efforts on the subversion front. Regarding the comparison idea --here's a link [1] of this type of comparison in proprietary statistics packages created at UCLA (not open source). It provides another example of the kind of thing we might be working toward.
FYI - I've contacted the lead editor of the University Consortium for Geographic Information Science (David DiBase, at Penn State -- Ian Turton's colleague I imagine) about the possible use of their Geographic Information Science & Technology Body of Knowledge [2] as an organizational framework for educational material as a group we continue to develop and share. I'm awaiting his response. Using this I think we should try and collect and build material like what Helena has done and link it to appropriate places in this BoK framework.
I'd like to create a subcommittee to help build this OSGeo edu "organizational scaffolding" and hold a meeting of this subcommittee over Skype in January. *Please email me if you'd like to be on this subcommittee*.
Thanks and enjoy whatever holiday you might be celebrating, and I look forward to making 2010 a "watershed year" for the OSGeo edu effort.
Cheers Charlie [1] http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/mult_pkg/whatstat/default.htm. [2] http://www.ucgis.org/priorities/education/modelcurriculaproject.asp
