Potentially the characteristics of learners interested in spatially infused forms of inquiry run the gamut. Instructional Design, Universal design practices may optimize learning experiences in humanities, natural sciences, social sciences coursework. Learners possess deep knowledge from their disciplines, and beginning with that as a pedagogical framework is useful to create a dynamic, care-based learning environment.
Consider my tweet thread from August 15:
Those have taken GIS Lab Coursework! I am thinking about the best ways to teach GIS as eventually I may teach that class in my new role come August 2022. How much time were you given to complete a GIS Lab?
I was talking to @foramsraqu on Monday and we had a useful convo about skill building and how in graduate study, certain types of visualizations are expected despite students not being offered coursework in such skills. The grad student then cobbles together a plan for skillbuild
In both threads I am thinking through challenges and opportunity with teaching technical skills to learners from a variety of disciplines.
Everything I do as an instructor is based on a feminist pedagogical framework, however.
In the spirit of sharing, I will provide a link to some #GIS courses I created for North Carolina A&T State University where I am currently an adjunct this semester. The school is thinking about developing a GIS certificate program and I was asked to contribute.
Be forewarned that there is a lot of N.C. A&T specific boilerplate language on the documents that I had to use, but feel free to remix them.
I plan to remix them when I begin my role as an Assistant Professor of Human Geography at Mississippi State University Department of Geosciences in fall. So excited! My first semester I will not be teaching GIS courses, but I may teach them in the future.
