Spatial Thinking vs. Jobs
•What are the educational requirements?
•Where are the jobs?
•What are the tasks?
•What is spatial literacy?
3
What is the GeoTech Center
• An NSF funded ATE National Center of
Excellence
• Single point of contact for two year colleges
• A Geospatial curriculum repository
• A data warehouse (data, static maps,
dynamic maps)
• A best practice in Geospatial

Problem 1
• How do you teach GIS which requires
specialized software?
▫ On campus
▫ Hybrid
▫ Virtually
7
Reason an Issue
• Requires a Community College student be on
Campus for assignments
• Reduces content which can be covered in a
class to give time for laboratory experience
• Software (with expirations) installation
problems took more time explaining to
students how to install, instead of teaching
content
8
Attempts at Solutions
• Using ArcIMS and web application on IMS
Server
▫ Limited GIS, for the higher end required the
installing of a plug-in that was not easy to do,
difficult to set-up IMS box
• Google Earth
▫ Limited GIS and data must be KML format
• ArcGIS Explorer
▫ Still limits GIS, but can add layer files
9
Solution 1
• Develop a web based terminal server at a low
cost
▫ JCTC Professional IT staff
▫ No software to install
▫ Full functional version of ArcGIS 9.3.1
▫ Patch single copy as updates needed
▫ Other software the students might need to
complete the course
▫ Useful for all students not just virtual learners
▫ Meets license requirements (still uses license
server)
10
Solution – on a virtual server
11
Requires a secure AD login
12
Multiple software applications on
the same machine
13
Clipboard available as are local
drives
14
Second level of security
15
Complete version of ArcMap
(ArcInfo)
16
Problem 2
• Student spend a large amount of time finding
base map information and files
▫ Providing Base maps for student application
via the web
 Eliminate many geo-projection issues
▫ Provide a student repository for zipped files
▫ Provide a shapefile library using geography,
seen as a drive letter by students
17
Solution 2
• Develop Web base maps using an ArcGIS
Server – geo image file
• Develop a SAN mass storage device
accessible within the college network,
Terminal server is within the network even
though the student accesses it outside of the
network
• Develop a website to download content that
is simple to navigate
18
Solution 2
19
Connecting to ArcGIS Server

Web Base Map
21
Shapefile Storage
22
Storage Server Base Map
23
Zipped Files
