Abstract: The National Geospatial Technology Center of Excellence held their annual GeoEd’15 Conference in Louisville, Kentucky during the second week of June, 2015. Two full days of workshops included topics such as ArcGIS Online, open source software, ArcPY and use of Python programming language, the Collector App for ArcGIS Online, tools and products of the GeoTech Center, ArcGIS Pro, using the Geospatial Awareness Model Course, remote sensing and imagery use in ArcGIS Desktop 10.3, and an open educational forum. A special one-day mini-conference on UAVs (Unmanned aerial vehicles) was held after the formal conference.

 

During the formal conference day, presentations included such topics as the GTCM, GISP examination for GISCI, NSF-funded projects in GST from GeoTed, Weber State University, Kaskaskia College, and Monroe Community College, geospatial intelligence (GeoINT), ArcGIS Pro, the GeoTech Center’s Model Courses, integration of GIST into other disciplines across campus, a status update of the GeoTech Center, and the presentation of the GeoTech Center Awards including Outstanding Educator, Outstanding Organization, and Lifelong Achievement Award. Additionally a presentation was made on a modularized version of the Geospatial Awareness course and discussion of microcredentials.  The formal conference concluded with lightning presentations made by several geospatial workers.

 

This webinar presents key takeaways from the workshops and conferences and highlights the event as an annual gathering of prominent national geospatial workers.

 

 

Length: 40-45 minutes: There will be ample time for questions and answers following the presentation.
