Abstract

The advent of user-generated content, crowdsourcing and other forms of lay data generation have led to opposing arguments about the quality and reliability of data in the geoweb. The main focus of this chapter is an ‘experiment' to test the quality, validity and lay monitoring of volunteered geographic information (VGI) data. Given the growing importance of VGI, in particular its very different sources and potential uses, it is important that we also consider how this movement affects the ways in which we re-envision the pedagogy of geographic education. Accordingly, a sub-theme of this paper focuses on the manner in which the VGI experiment is undertaken: the experiment is run with students as a means of complementing their otherwise technical GIS training with primary research that exposes them to the wider social issues and debates relating to geographic data. We discuss the implications of this research project both for observers of the development of VGI and the pedagogy of GIS teaching and learning.

用户生成内容、众包和其他形式的外行数据生成的出现,导致了关于geoweb中数据质量和可靠性的对立争论。本章的主要重点是一个“实验”来测试自愿地理信息(VGI)数据的质量、有效性和lay - monitoring。鉴于地理地理标志日益增长的重要性,特别是其非常不同的来源和潜在用途,我们也必须考虑这一运动如何影响我们重新设想地理教育教学法的方式。因此,本文的一个副主题侧重于VGI实验的进行方式:该实验是与学生一起进行的,作为补充他们的技术GIS培训的一种手段,通过初级研究使他们接触到与地理数据有关的更广泛的社会问题和辩论。我们讨论了该研究项目对VGI发展观察者和GIS教学方法的影响。
