Redlands, California - SpatiaLABS
from Esri Press are independent computer lab activities that introduce,
enhance, and reinforce spatial reasoning and analytic skills that apply
to a variety of disciplines. Students working with SpatiaLABS use
mapping technology and visualization tools, including Esri's ArcGIS
software, to solve real-world problems.
The unique lab activities focus on teaching students how to approach a
spatial problem rather than the mechanics of geospatial tools. Covering a
broad range of subjects, SpatiaLABS include more than 50 titles such as
Forest Planning for Sensitive Wildlife Species, Impacts of Sea Level
Rise and Storms on Manhattan, Predicting West Nile Virus Outbreaks, and
Customer Profiling: Demographic and Lifestyle Segmentation.
"I introduced all the topics from the [SpatiaLABS] description list to
the class and then let the students pick the material they were
interested in. I was intrigued with how devoted students became to doing
these labs and how hard they were willing to work to discover the
meaning of the information," says Dave Skiles, GIS program coordinator,
Front Range Community College.
Delivered on DVD, the labs are provided in editable file formats to
allow educators to customize each lab for their specific courses or
include local data if desired. The level of difficulty and time to
complete each lab varies, providing a range of materials instructors can
use to accommodate students with different abilities and interests.
SpatiaLABS are available for an annual site license fee. To learn more and to order, visit esri.com/spatialabs or call 1-800-447-9778. Outside the United States, visit esri.com/distributors to contact your local Esri distributor.
