ABOUT THIS MODULE

This demo is structured like any UNIGIS module. It is a subset of the first module of the UNIGIS program "Introduction to Geoinformatics". At its core these are the module materials presented as an interactive webbook (in this free module only 3 select lessons are accessible) and a discussion forum to comment, ask questions and discuss with the lecturer and the peer students. Further, you will find sections for software, assignment submission and the possibility for anonymous feedback.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

This demo module aims to:

  • provide an insight into how UNIGIS distance learning works in practice
  • highlight some application domains and trends in Geographical Information Science and Systems,

Upon completion of this module you should be able to:

  • assess, whether this format of distance learning meets your needs
  • have a deeper understanding of the subject of study, its methodological foundations and domains for application.

QUICK VIEW

The demo module consists of 3 (out of 13) publicly accessible lessons from the first module "Introduction to Geoinformatics". It will take you about two evenings to work through these lessons.

UNIGIS students have two months time to complete one module, which results in an average workload of 12-15 hrs per week. However, this is a rough estimation as the workload might differ, depending on the lesson content, your experience and prior knowledge to the topic.
