WebGIS as Teaching Tool: UC Atlas of Global Inequality
Track: Education
Author(s): Brian Fulfrost

The UC Atlas of Global Inequality is an online teaching resource (http://ucatlas.ucsc.edu) mapping global inequalities and how they are changing as the world is becoming more integrated. Innovations of this Atlas include: dynamic time series maps showing changing global patterns of inequality over time; an interactive database incorporating data from several international agencies; on-demand mapping of variables in the database (using ArcIMS); printable maps; animated guides to reading graphs, using the Atlas, getting data; teaching activities using the Atlas; summaries of key debates and links to other literature; a glossary and bibliography. All of these features are online and freely available.
