Hi Everyone,

Please pass along word to students or colleagues who may be interested:

The Geography Program at the University of Massachusetts Amherst is offering two GIS courses for the summer term. Both can be taken online or in person at our Mt. Ida campus in Newton, MA:

Cartography and Geovisualization (Geography 493A)
3 credits

Students will understand and implement principles of good design in cartography along with understanding the human vision and how it influences perception and cognition. The course will also cover the scope of contemporary thematic cartography and web mapping. Students will gain hands-on experience in designing and improving web-based maps.
