Welcome to the GIS 5574 - "GIS and the Internet" website! What is "GIS and the Internet"? GIS 5574 is an 8 week introduction to the many ways GIS data, maps and applications can be used to provide content for the Internet. The course is geared towards students who are familiar with the World-Wide Web and that have a working knowledge of GIS. Students will gain experience through browsing of the web, and ultimately will develop their own web site and interactive mapping and spatial query application. Attention will be paid to the wide variety of technologies available to Internet GIS developers. The course will make use of dozens of examples and will examine the pros and cons to each approach. The main goal of the course is that students will be able to select and apply the appropriate technologies in a real-world setting. GIS 5574 Website Projects I'm not a big fan of tests. The only way to learn this stuff is by doing it. So, besides a healthy dose of web surfing, students will have to construct a web site, revolving around an interactive mapping application. The site will consist of a variety of elements as presented in class such as access to data and metadata, static maps/images, and an interactive component. Class Resources
