Web Mapping

Catalog description

In this course, students learn how to produce and design interactive web maps for communication. Web maps take many forms, and they are continually changing. Thus, the objective of this course is to do two things: (1) develop proficiency in the scripting languages and tools most frequently used to design and create these maps; and (2) teach the theory and concepts underlying good web map design so that as the technologies change in the future students are still be able to design effective web maps. At the end of this course, students are able to design a web map from scratch. This course is taught largely at an undergraduate level. Graduate students have additional course requirements/expectations. Lect. 2, Lab 2. Prerequisite: GEO 405 or GEO 418 ; junior standing. Offered Spring - Even Numbered Years.
