The Instructor Materials for
Grid-based Map Analysis and Modeling is a two CD set of teaching materials for
four levels of presentations—1 hour Overview Lecture, 2 hour Seminar, 8 hour
Workshop and 10 week College Course …over 300 slides and hours of hands-on
exercises describing the principles, procedures, considerations and practical
applications of grid-based map analysis.
The College Course materials include laboratory lessons, projects and
even exam questions and answers. A
companion textbook, Map
Analysis: Understanding Spatial Patterns and Relationships, supports the
extended Workshop and College Course offerings.
Most Geotechnology
teaching materials focus on Geographic Information Systems (

The
materials reflect the circumstances of their original presentation and are not
intended for direct use. Users are
encouraged to reorganize, edit and integrate the materials with other resources
as appropriate for tailoring class offerings.
Much of the material was developed and originally presented at the
University of Denver and the author greatly appreciates the opportunity to
serve as the Keck Scholar in Geosciences with Department of Geography. Without this intellectually stimulating
atmosphere these materials would not have been developed.

Instructor Materials for Grid-based Map Analysis and Modeling includes
several sets of resources developed by Joseph K. Berry (© Joseph K. Berry,

Instructor CD #1 — Listing of CD
contents:
\InstructorCD1\Default.htm on the Instructor
CD#1 disk for links to Keynote, Seminar and Workshop materials briefly described below. See Instructor CD#2 for materials supporting
an upper division/graduate College Course.
\Keynote folder — contains
handout and PowerPoint slides with extended links for an overview presentation
on Geotechnology (1 hour). This presentation provides an encompassing
framework for the field of Geotechnology (Remote Sensing (RS), Global
Positioning System (GPS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS)) with
particular emphasis is given to the Grid-based Map Analysis and Modeling
capabilities of GIS technology. (Keynote description)
\Seminar folder — contains
materials for an introductory presentation on Grid-based Map Analysis and Modeling (2 hours). This presentation introduces the underlying
concepts, procedures and considerations supporting Grid-based Map Analysis and
Modeling using numerous real-time demonstrations. Software and tutorial materials are provided
for students interested in hands-on experience as homework. (Seminar
description)
\Workshop folder — contains
materials for a workshop on Grid-based Map Analysis and Modeling (1 day; 8
contact hours). The workshop provides an
extensive experience with the concepts, underlying theory, data considerations,
procedures, and practical considerations in applying advanced grid-based map
analysis techniques. It investigates
spatial analysis and spatial data mining approaches using numerous hands-on
examples of analytical techniques and applications from natural resources
management, environmental assessment, precision agriculture and
geo-business. The one day session
assumes instructor demonstrations; the workshop should be extended to two days
(16 contact hours) for participant completion of the eight exercises. (Workshop
description)
The
Keynote and Seminar can be combined for a half-day session with a general
audience for the Keynote presentation (both non-GIS and GIS interested
participants) followed by the Seminar for a targeted audience (GIS interested
participants). This format works very
well for presentations at conferences and large organizations. Instructors are encouraged to review the
online book Beyond Mapping III (www.innovativegis.com/basis/MapAnalysis/Default.htm)
for additional materials for tailoring presentations to particular audiences.

contents:
\InstructorCD2\Default.htm on the Instructor
CD#2 disk for links to materials supporting an upper division/graduate College Course briefly described below. See Instructor CD#1 for materials supporting
Keynote, Seminar and Workshop presentations.
\Syllabus folder — contains a
detailed description of the course designed for a ten week term. (Course
description; online course materials at www.innovativegis.com/basis/Courses/GMcourse10/)
\GMcourse\Default.htm — contains the main
page for the class website with links to the Syllabus and all materials
supporting the course (Lectures, Exercises, Exams, Data, and reference
materials). All of the materials use MS
Office formats and can be edited to fit an instructor’s needs. Once updated, the entire \GMcourse folder can
be copied to a server for Local Area or Internet access by students.
