Track: Teaching with GIS in Higher Education
Author(s): Jerry Maedel, Ionut Aron, Michael Meitner
This paper explores the benefits and drawbacks of teaching ArcGIS using data in an Oracle/Esri Spatial Database Engine (SDE) relational database while operating within a Microsoft Windows domain. A discussion of the process required to set up class access to Oracle/SDE is followed by recommendations for making the process more effective. Special emphasis is placed on using Oracle/SDE for improving the evaluation process of ArcGIS student projects.
