Abstract
Putting Information in Its Place: Integrating GIS with Educational TechnologiesTrack: Universities and Higher Education
Author(s): Bill Guthe
Princeton's Educational Technologies Center (ETC) provides consultation and development services to faculty members who wish to use Web-based technologies for teaching and research. Virtually every academic discipline involves locational analysis in some way. ETC uses GIS to spatially enable existing databases, build a georeferenced framework to which new data may be added, and drive interactive displays of two- and three-dimensional surfaces. The paper will discuss how GIS data sets interact with other object-oriented databases managed by ETC and how ETC uses GIS with other Web-based tools to provide its audiences a variety of ways to explore information.
