我们诚挚地邀请您参与解释地理空间数据的在线研究。本研究是“基于语义查询的地理信息问题分析”(QuAnGIS)研究项目的一部分。该项目由欧洲研究委员会(ERC)资助,位于乌得勒支大学人文地理与空间规划系。该项目旨在为地理信息系统开发一个自动问题回答系统。本研究的目的是探讨人们如何解释地理空间数据进行基于gis的分析。这项研究的发现将用于开发一个能够像人类一样解释地理空间数据的人工智能模型。参与这项研究并不严格要求GIS专业知识(但对GIS数据感兴趣)。对于参加者来说,这也是一个熟悉地理信息系统或测试现有地理信息系统知识的好机会。对我们来说,这是一个从您的地理信息系统专业知识中获得深刻见解的绝佳机会。在这项研究中,我们要求您回答一份在线问卷。 Only a web browser is required for opening and answering the questionnaire. The questionnaire will take approximately 30 minutes of your time depending on your level of GIS expertise. The questionnaire consists of four parts. The first part offers an informed consent stating the conditions for participating in the study and your rights as a participant. In the second part, we ask you to provide basic information about yourself including your level of GIS expertise. The next part asks to compare multiple geo-spatial datasets visualized as maps. The final part asks to indicate whether certain ArcGIS tools are meaningfully applicable to specific geospatial datasets. The questionnaire is hosted on Qualtrics, a secure platform maintained by Utrecht University. Any data you provide during this study will be handled in accordance with the privacy regulations of Utrecht University and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union. If you are interested, please fill out the questionnaire that is accessible HERE If you have any questions regarding the study, you are welcome to contact Dr. Enkhbold Nyamsuren (e.nyamsuren@uu.nl) and Eric Top (e.j.top@uu.nl).

每个月,我们都有GeoMentor志愿者来展示我们社区中可以帮助K-12学校的优秀人才。在线阅读我们收集的GeoMentor聚光灯。想要获得推荐?信息可以在我们的课程网站上找到。姓名:Lauren Sinclair职位/工作及隶属关系:中学地理信息系统教师!这是我梦想的工作!在K-12你最喜欢的课程是什么?我喜欢这一切。我想这就是我当老师的原因。但在本科时,我最喜欢的课程都是地理…… so I asked my favorite geography professor for advice on learning more. Because of his awesome advice I tried my first GIS and ended up at PSU studying geomorphology and GIS for my master's. How did you first learn about and/or use GIS? My first GIS experience is freeze-framed in my memory, which is exactly why I love recreating that magical experience for my students every semester. It was an exploration of the Ring of Fire on an early version of ArcMap in 2005 or so... what I remember most was following the directions and turning on the volcanoes layer, the earthquakes layer, and then the plate boundaries layer... and I felt like I had discovered plate tectonics myself! My immediate thought was "kids have got to try this!" Name one thing you love about GIS and/or geography. GIS has evolved to be more intuitive and user friendly every year. It's already at a point where my 6th-8th graders learn how to use ArcGISOnline independently over the course of about 30 hours in one semester... and some of my 8th graders are honestly better at spatial analysis than I am by the end of the semester. That's powerful. That tells me that we need to give youth more opportunities to use this technology earlier... we shouldn't wait until an undergraduate program to introduce people to GIS! Why did you want to volunteer as a GeoMentor? I guess I see myself as a GeoMentor advocate. When I started turning the technology class at my middle school into a GIS class, I had no idea what to do, so I reached out to the GeoMentor network and connected to some of my PSU professors. They got me from crawling to running in no time! I've since invited dozens of GIS professionals to my classroom and encouraged them to become GeoMentors. It's important for my students to meet GIS professionals in person and see the huge range of applications for the technology. They've met people from Esri, MapBox, Quantum Spatial, Extensis, Portland State University, Portland Community College, and more! There are so many more classrooms out there that will never experience GIS without the encouragement and support of a GeoMentor, which is why I'm always encouraging GIS professionals to visit a classroom! What kind of GeoMentor volunteer opportunity and experience are you looking for? Most teachers don't know about GIS and don't know what to do with it, so I encourage GeoMentors to take an existing resource and volunteer to teach it themselves with the teacher's support. Teachers are so busy... it's overwhelming to consider trying new technology. But if someone is willing to visit my classroom and say "Hey! You sit back and sip your coffee and just help me keep the kids on their best behavior, and I'll teach the lesson"...I'll say yes to that in a heartbeat! I recommend that GeoMentors offer to teach an activity like this one I just published with Esri's LearnArcGIS team, or a GeoInquiry. The GeoInquiries are great because you can ask your child's teacher "what are you studying right now?" and then find an existing GeoInquiry that matches almost any topic! Everything is ready for you: the GIS is ready for students, there are worksheets you can print... they're ready to go in 5 minutes. I've brought GeoInquiries into my colleagues' classrooms in almost every subject, and they're always amazed at how easy and engaging they are. Now they're teaching GeoInquiries themselves! That's the dream... that a GeoMentor sparks a fire that keeps burning after they leave the classroom. If someone asked you why they should learn about GIS and/or geography, how would you respond in one sentence? The kids in school right now are the meme generation; they communicate visually. That means they're primed to communicate with GIS! I want the world to catch on to this perfect match and put GIS in as many classrooms as possible.
