The acronym GIS is sometimes used to mean geographical information science or geospatial information studies; these latter terms refer to the academic discipline or career of working with geographic information systems. In the simplest terms, GIS is the merging of cartography, statistical analysis, and database technology. <br><br> COURSE OUTLINE<br> <img src="minibullet.gif"> This course provides an introduction to digital mapping and spatial analysis using geographic information systems (GIS). Students will learn how to create their own maps, and how to use GIS software to analyze geographic problems and learn spatial analysis techniques that can be applied to a wide variety of subject areas, both within geography and in other disciplines. The course is designed to accommodate students from a variety of research backgrounds and with no previous GIS experience. The goal is to provide students with a theoretical understanding of spatial data and analysis concepts, and to introduce the practical tools needed to create and manage spatial data, perform spatial analysis, and communicate results including (but not limited to) the form of a well designed map. <br><br> PREREQUISITE <br> None. </SPAN> </DIV></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD colSpan=2>&nbsp;</TD></TR> <TR> <TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #e3e3e3 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #e3e3e3 1px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #e3e3e3 1px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #e3e3e3 1px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: whitesmoke" colSpan=2> <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0> <TBODY> <TR> <TD vAlign=top width="45%"><font size=2><STRONG>Location</STRONG>:&nbsp;<SPAN id=EventPreview1_lblLocation><br>Victoria Inn<br>Thunder Bay</SPAN> </TD> <TD vAlign=top> <DIV id=EventPreview1_pnlComponents> <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=2 width="100%" border=0> <TBODY> <TR> <TD vAlign=top width="25%"><font size=2><STRONG>Trainer</strong>: Gail Murray<br><br><STRONG>Cost</STRONG>:&nbsp; $990.00 + HST</TD> <TABLE id=EventPreview1_dgComponents style="WIDTH: 100%; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" cellSpacing=0 border=0> <TBODY> <TR> <TD vAlign=top><SPAN id=EventPreview1_dgComponents__ctl2_lblComponent></SPAN> </TD> <TD vAlign=top><SPAN id=EventPreview1_dgComponents__ctl2_lblPrice></TD></TR> <TR> <TD vAlign=top><SPAN id=EventPreview1_dgComponents__ctl3_lblComponent></SPAN> </TD> <TD vAlign=top><SPAN id=EventPreview1_dgComponents__ctl3_lblPrice></SPAN> </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> </TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR> <TR> <TD colSpan=2>&nbsp;</TD></TR> <TR> <TD colSpan=2><SPAN id=EventPreview1_lblDescription><font size=2>Target Audience: office personnel, lands and resource worker. <BR><BR>Director Approved CEUs: n/a<BR>Course Code ID: <BR><BR>Duration: 3 days <BR><BR>Time: 9:00am to 4:00pm</SPAN> </TD></TR> <TR> <TD colSpan=2>&nbsp;</TD></TR> </TBODY></TABLE></td></tr></table></body></head></html>
