Introducing the QGIS Academy Project

The Webinar

The ICA-OSGeo Lab Network and MundoGEO are now pleased to inform the ninth webinar of the ”Open Geospatial Science & Applications” webinar series. This webinar will be open and free to all on first come register basis.

The QGIS Academy is an effort to establish a national GIS education infrastructure focusing on Free & Open Source Software for GIS (FOSS4G). The Academy is a consortium of two year community colleges and four year universities committed to bringing GIS technical education to students and educators worldwide. We are one of the many projects under the OSGeo "Geo for All" initiative, a collection of 84 college & universities worldwide dedicated to promoting open source geospatial software. The Academy is now offering a new Workforce Certificate in Geospatial Technology based upon a series of five online courses, all based on QGIS software. This presentation will focus on the content, delivery, costs and purpose of this new online course offering.

This event is suitable for secondary school educators and students, two and four year college educators and students, students in need of GIS skills, workers seeking to broaden technology skills and anyone desiring QGIS and open source knowledge and skills.

Speakers: Dr. Phillip Davis, project director, Del Mar College Corpus Christi Texas; Dr. Richard Smith, subject matter expert, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, Texas; Kurt Menke, subject matter expert, owner Birds Eye View GIS, Albuquerque, New Mexico; Dr. John Van Hoesen, subject matter expert, Green Mountain College, Poultney, Vermont.
