  2. Research Activities One major task in the fourth year will be the evaluation of the project effectiveness. SDSU research team will focus on three major subjects for the evaluations: • Project website evaluation: We will continue to analyze the weblogs to create bi-monthly report to evaluate how many users have been accessed the project websites, and how many times do the GIS modules have been downloads (bi-monthly), how many GIS maps have been viewed. Also, in the project website, the user feedback web pages will be monitored. • GIS CAREER Awareness Modules evaluation: We will calculate how many students have used this modules (each new users will need a login-name and password to access the web GIS system). How many students have been completed the learning modules (to receive the Certificates). In each students’ answers, we will also collect students’ feedbacks and the teachers feedback. • High School Teacher Workshop evaluation: The SDSU team will continue to create high school teacher workshops and each workshop will have questionnaire to get teachers’ direct feedback. We will compile these questionnaires and provide a summary report for our project.

  3. An Integrated GIS Education Program • High Schools (GIS 1c/2c) • Community Colleges • (Mesa College GIS 110, 111, 112) • Universities (four years undergraduate and graduate study – M.A., M.S. and Ph.D. programs) General Education– GEOG 104 • Advanced: GEOG 381, 484, 584, CS 537, CS 657. • (Seamless GIS Education Integration) Students can continue the learning of GIS technology and get some transfer credits between the three levels.

  4. GEOG 104 Improvement and Articulation (http://map.sdsu.edu/geog104) Make more articulation work with other community colleges (Mesa College, Grossmont College, Southwestern College)

  5. Research Activities: Object 5 • Improve and Revise Web-based GIS Career awareness program. • Create more connection to Education Content Standards and Goals • Upgrade to new version of software and tools • Correct errors and mistakes in the modules • Streamline the paper certificate production and distribution.

  6. Research Activities: Object 6 • Share the Model GIS program with other educational institutions and communities across the U.S. • Conference Presentation and Proceeding: • 2007 ESRI International User conference • Book chapter: Ming-Hsiang Tsou, (Accepted).
