 Introduction
This 
course comprises 10 modules, each with their own learning objectives and target 
deliverable. This training introduces students to both the social and technical 
aspects of digital mapping. Students will learn fundamental concepts and 
techniques in cartography and GIS, including file types, data classification, 
projections and coordinate systems and elementary analytical techniques in a 
range of desktop and web-based mapping platforms.
In 
addition to providing the fundamental technical competencies necessary to 
create 
maps, students will develop the critical awareness required to effectively 
communicate complex social processes through maps. Modules consist of an 
applied 
“hands-on” lesson.

Course 
Objectives
Integrate 
  desktop GIS procedures with web-based mapping platforms
Define 
  and differentiate between variety of spatial data models and 
  formats
Manipulate 
  geospatial datasets (e.g. cleaning, joining, querying, 
  extracting)
Apply 
  appropriate thematic map symbology to represent geographic 
  phenomena
Explain 
  and apply the basics of representation in GIS, including using vector and 
  raster data formats, determining appropriate geographic coordinate system for 
  a given spatial data file and applying the appropriate geographic projection 
  to a map type and spatial scale
Produce 
  static map products that integrate multiple data types and analytical 
  methods
Obtain 
  geospatial data from a variety of online sources and integrate into mapping 
  processes
