Abstract

Maintaining educational resources and training materials as timely, current, and aligned with the needs of students, practitioners, and other users of geospatial technologies is a persistent challenge. This is particularly problematic within CyberGIS, a subfield of Geographic Information Science and Technology (GIS&T) that involves high‐performance computing and advanced cyberinfrastructure to address computation‐ and data‐intensive problems. In this study, we analyzed and compared content from two open educational resources: (1) a popular online web resource that regularly covers CyberGIS‐related topics (GIS Stack Exchange) and (2) existing and proposed content in the GIS&T Body of Knowledge. While current curricula may build a student's conceptual understanding of CyberGIS, there is a noticeable lack of resources for practical implementation of CyberGIS tools. The results highlight discrepancies between the attention and frequency of CyberGIS topics according to a popular online help resource and the CyberGIS academic community.

推进 CyberGIS 教育:了解什么重要以及如何决定
保持教育资源和培训材料的及时性、最新性,并与学生、从业人员和其他地理空间技术用户的需求保持一致,是一项长期存在的挑战。网络地理信息系统(CyberGIS)是地理信息科学与技术(GIS&T)的一个子领域,涉及高性能计算和先进的网络基础设施,以解决计算和数据密集型问题。在这项研究中,我们分析并比较了两种开放式教育资源的内容:(1) 定期报道 CyberGIS 相关主题的流行在线网络资源(GIS Stack Exchange);(2) GIS&T 知识体系中现有的和建议的内容。虽然目前的课程可以培养学生对 CyberGIS 的概念性理解,但在实际应用 CyberGIS 工具方面却明显缺乏资源。结果凸显了流行的在线帮助资源和 CyberGIS 学术界对 CyberGIS 主题的关注度和频率之间的差异。
