National Training Priorities in GIS - an Australian perspective
Pramod Sharma
University of Queensland, Australia
In July the Australian Key Centre in Land Information Studies (AKCLIS)
sponsored a workshop in Sydney to review two recently completed reports
compiled by the Australia and New Zealand Land Information Council (ANZLIC)
entitled "Land Information Management Training Need Analysis - National
Report" and a "Compendium of Land and Geographic Information Systems
Research and Development Projects 1995". The latter report identified areas
where research was required or considered to be desirable.
The participants at the workshop - from Australian universities with major
GIS programs and the national research organisation, CSIRO - evaluated these
reports in terms of their current and proposed programs and in terms of the
national GIS related needs generally. These deliberations will be
presented in a forthcoming publication.
This paper presents a summary overview of those discussions.
Presentation format:
It will be presented as a paper presentation. Materials will be prepared in PowerPoint and presented either as 35mm slide or colour overhead transparencies.
