GIS Provides the Framework and Process Analysing Problems in Space Analysis and Planning and Interpretation Policy Modeling and Decision Predicting Making Observational Science Action Becoming Essential to Everything We Do . . . . . . Creating More Integrated Government

GIS Is Evolving Influenced by Innovation in Many Areas Virtualization IoT Big Data Technology Faster Computing Distributed Processing Smart Devices Consumerization Cloud Content Applications Analytics Real-Time Implementation 3D Apps Configurable Agile Crowdsourcing Visualization Easier Open UAVs Ready to Use Collaborative A Whole New Pattern Is Emerging

OPPORTUNITY FOR PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING • ANALYSIS AND DECISION MAKING BASED ON DATA • NOT JUST READING AND EXAMS; LEARNING BY DOING • MAKING A CONTRIBUTION TO LOCAL ISSUES/PROBLEMS

BARRIERS TO PROGRESS • LACK OF HIGH-SPEED INTERNET ACCESS >> ONLINE SERVICES • LACK OF FUNCIONAL SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURE (SDI) >> LOCAL DATA • LACK OF TECHNOLOGY AS VEHICLE FOR ALL STUDIES, I.E. GEOGRAPHY • LACK OF TEACHER TRAINING ON PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING METHODS

Online Content A Living Atlas of the World Basemaps | Imagery | Demographics | Landscape Tens of Thousands Open Data Sets Thousands of Maps and Layers Ready-to-Use Authoritative Millions of User Contributions . . . Billions of Views per Week

Climate Change (rainfall decrease) prediction 2050
