<p>created</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Back to [[Education_Committee_Work_Program]]<br /> <br /> This page is for documenting User stories and Use Cases for GIS in Primary/Elementary and Secondary School Education, whether they are for teaching geography or other subjects or for teaching GIS ''per se'' as is currently required in the South African syllabus.<br /> <br /> Hopefully FOSS GIS projects will take these to heart when developing or putting solutions together for schools.<br /> <br /> Our aim is to achieve some of these for launch at www.foss4g2008.org.<br /> <br /> What must the ideal GIS software do and how must it do it from a teacher's and learner's perspective?<br /> =Actors=<br /> *Geography teacher<br /> *Computer / IT teacher<br /> *Pupil / learner<br /> *IT admin staff<br /> *School admin<br /> *others?<br /> =User Stories=<br /> Please document any user stories here<br /> =Use Cases=<br /> Please add to this list and elaborate on ones already here.<br /> ==Cross-platform: Linux, Windows or Mac==<br /> All three OSs are used in schools (in SA at any rate) <br /> ==One-click installation==<br /> Integrated software stack so teachers and learners have to launch a minimal number of applications. Teachers do not have the time or expertise to install and set up multiple software packages.<br /> ==Simplified and customised GUIs to lower the entry threshold==<br /> ===for teachers to teach curriculum requirements of GIS===<br /> List the SA requirements here - these would be 'simple' to package - one click for each item...<br /> ===for teachers to use GIS to teach geography and other subjects===<br /> What other ways do teachers use GIS?<br /> *cross-sections<br /> *river long sections<br /> *etc... a long list!<br /> ===for learners to use for hands-on work===<br /> *making a map<br /> *projecting<br /> *printing<br /> *etc... another long list<br /> ==Free, integrated global and local data package==<br /> One well-maintained global data set and then separately maintained country data sets - so the 'release' ebcomes locale-specific.<br /> ==excellent documentation==<br /> ==multi-lingual==<br /> SA has 11 official languages<br /> ==framework for local contributors==<br /> ...to structure and contribute exercises, lessons, etc, with a central website.<br /> Sharing resources ''a la'' OSGeo pages for tertiary education<br /> ==network deployment==<br /> Desktop installation vs network deployment on multi-seat or terminal server basis. <br /> ==functionality for more sophisticated users==<br /> The fast learners and 'switched on' teachers will want to go beyond the syllabus and do more interesting and exciting things<br /> ==functionality / points of entry for 'computer studies' learners (i.e. developers)==<br /> The 'computer studies' learners can work with the geography learners and write custome applications, develop web maps and mashups, etc. and make their coding exercises more outcomes based and exciting.<br /> ==school web map services==<br /> Let the geogaphy and computer departments implement real mapping solutions for the school<br /> ==more...==<br /> <br /> [[Category:FOSS4G2008]]<br /> [[Category:Education]]</div>
