Endre Nyerges I have taught a GIS and the Environment course once in Centre's new three-week winter term. It was heavy going. The students did great, but complained bitterly about the work load. I found it excessive myself. I used a simple-mionded text, plus the online ArcView and Spatial Analyst courses and a series of modules several students and I had written to train in GPS use and ArcView using my Sierra Leonean data. As I see it now, the aspect of GIS I am most interested in, because it provides the kind of data I prefer, is remote sensing, and I expect to modify the course accordingly. I will probably use just the Conservation GIS online course and my own modules, plus train the students in satellite image analysis using the shareware software MultiSpec. I should note that my course fits in with our new Environmental Studies minor, so I will focus on environmental change analysis. At some point I will try to get a USGS 3-decade satellite image "triplet" for the Danville area to examine environmental change here.
