GIS and Remote Sensing Canvas Course
|
A new open Canvas course, created by Dr. Nicholas Coops and Haitao Li, has a series of videos and modules for users of GIS and Remote Sensing. This course includes four modules: Theory, Tools, Data, and Application. Each module contains multiple videos, dedicated to particular topics such as: loading shapefiles, map projections, and adding plug-ins into QGIS. Alongside the videos are text introductions, links for data, and further reading. These videos are short and simple, and are designed to cover simple technical details that may be used in existing courses.
