Network Analysis: A Classroom Project
Track: Teaching with GIS in Higher Education
Author(s): Kevin Cary

This paper will discuss engagement of students in a network analysis project, which involved modeling campus sidewalks and pathways. Students were divided into groups to digitize all sidewalks and pathways in their selected area on campus. Once finished, they exchanged their data with each other and connected each other’s datasets to participate in a network analysis. Next, they were responsible for creating service areas in one-minute intervals (up to five minutes) for each of the student-classified parking lots on campus. Finally, they created a large-format map showing these areas on campus.
