Challenges and Opportunities of Instructing a

University Level FOSS4G Course

[Dave Murray]

Dave Murray

GIS Coordinator, City of Westminster CO

Adjunct Faculty University of Colorado Denver

Department of Geography and Environmental Sciences
This presentation will review the experiences over the past six years of 
instructing a FOSS4G course at the university level.  What has worked and what 
needs to be improved will be discussed.  These experiences are based on an 
introductory FOSS4G course that focuses on how students can incorporate Open 
Source technologies into their program majors and careers.  While the specific 
content for each semester changes there are three core areas of FOSS4G 
technology that the students use: desktop GIS, database management systems, and 
Cloud-based GIS.  The students gain experience with these technologies through 
readings and hands-on exercises.  This gives them the experience to use FOSS4G 
in a project of their choice that is related to their major course of study.  
An important part of this course is the guest speakers.  Each semester, several 
individuals give presentations on how they are using FOSS4G in their work.  
This provides real-world examples of how FOSS4G can be applied to solve 
business, environmental, and social problems.
