This is an instructor guided course taught in a Virtual GIS Classroom using the same technologies implemented by colleges and universities around the world to deliver Internet based courses. Our new Virtual GIS Classroom blends the best of instructor led and e-learning formats into a new instructor led web based format that allows for more interactivity between the instructor and student, and between students. The Virtual GIS Classroom Internet platform has the following features for each course:
- Audio and video lectures

- Supporting exercises and data
- Class forums and chats
- Upload and download of course assignments and exercises
- Course wikis
- Supplemental reading materials

- Much more!
The biggest difference in this course and our other offerings is that it is an instructor guided course. Where our traditional products have been in a CD/download, self-paced format this new course will feature a lot of interaction between student and instructor. There will be chat sessions, discussion groups, exercise review with the instructor, and at least two phone meetings between student and instructor to discuss your progress. In addition, there will be interaction among students as well through discussion groups.
