Virtual program
You’re invited to attend a workshop for University of Maine System faculty from any discipline to learn how to integrate cutting-edge geospatial technologies into courses. No prior experience is required!
What are geospatial technologies/ geographic information systems (GIS)? It’s all about connecting. GIS connects different kinds of data to a map, providing a foundation for analysis that is used in just about every discipline. GIS helps people discover patterns and relationships in a geographic context. Right now, faculty are asking their students to explore socio-cultural issues in health care, environmental topics in basic biology, applications in digital humanities, and much more.
The Geospatial Learning Across Disciplines workshop will also provide a pathway for faculty to apply for competitive stipends of up to $1,500* to include discipline-appropriate geospatial teaching and learning activities in climate-change-related courses.
