 *This course, in its development, replicates the development of typical GIS project, from data development, data analysis to presentation of analysis of results. The course utilizes [http://www.qgis.org qGIS], Grass-plug-in and [http://www.postgresql.org  PostgreSQL]/[http://postgis.refractions.net/ PostGIS] as major GIS tools. The course was designed and tested in 2006-2007 and supported by UMass Team ([http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/User:Charlie C. Schweik et al]).

 === Introduction ===
-This page offers some educational resources for Free/Libre and Open Source Geographic Information Systems (Foss GIS). Educational resources are viewed as “modules” or building blocks , where each module/block is a complete unit, introducing some theoretical concept, GIS approach or software-related skill.  The resources/modules are classified by the skill-level of the target audience, as well as by application area, type of lessons, etc. Please refer to Table 1 for detail [[classification scheme]].
+This page offers higher-education resources related to Free/Libre and Open Source Geographic Information Systems (Foss GIS). Others are welcome to contribute. Currently (see below) these materials are organized by course and by the main author or organization involved.
-The  learning modules are independent, although each module should include a list of prerequisite modules and may also provide suggestions for relevant modules to explore after that.  Although these modules are independent and prepared by different people and organizations, they are compliant with each other (or with OSGEO EDU standards).  Therefore these modules can be used (and we encourage to do so) for teaching in academic or business environments. (Probably should include the creative commons license here) We see that educators will utilize a sequence of related to their area and goals modules, as a “roadmap” and/or “skeleton” for their courses.  In other words, the idea is to “take” those modules, you need to achieve your goals.
+'''Where we hope to go:''' In the future, we hope to move this to a system that is more easily searchable, and is built around the modular concept, where each module/block is a complete unit, introducing some theoretical concept, GIS approach or software-related skill. Some OSGeo tutorial standard needs to be established, and each learning module should be classified by the skill-level of the target audience, as well as by application area, type of lessons, etc (refer to Table 1 for detail [[classification scheme]]). And while modules should be independent, ideally, each module would include a list of prerequisite modules and may also provide suggestions for relevant modules to explore after that. And these modules are independent and prepared by different people and organizations, they are compliant with each other (or with OSGEO EDU standards).  We think the development of a kind of "module buffet" be available, where educators can utilize a sequence of modules related to their area and goals, as a “roadmap” and/or “skeleton” for their courses.  In other words, the idea is to create an environment where educators can search and select modules that match their goals.
 As this project operates within [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_content open content paradigm], we encourage educators, students and professionals to contribute to the project by adding new modules, by editing/updated new modules and by sharing new datasets.  It’s important to add new “roadmaps” or new course outlines so other could use them as well.
