Are you re-visiting and dramatically changing your instructional materials (course syllabus, lab exercises, tutorials, etc.) in response to shifting to an online or hybrid modality? Have you ever wondered, at 3 am, where to start or how to begin? These focus on how GIS can be taught and learned (the infrastructure around teaching and learning).
