Hi All We've been trying to identify a minimum standard of GIS we believe that al students should have for different levels of education. We'd like to open up the debate and to get your opinions on this. The documents we created are at the new HERODOT Network Google Group - http://groups.google.com/group/herodot-net Please feel free to join and participate in the debate. We are trying to establish some international standards which can be used for lobbying to promote (and in some countries to keep) Geography in the high school curriculuim and to enhance the employability of our Geography graduates and the quality of teacher ed at university level. Thus we have written a summary of learning outcomes for the end of the stage of study and some draft learning outcomes. So not a 'Body of Knowledge' more a charter for what every student should get.... Look forward to your opinions and ideas. Best Wishes Karl Donert Liverpool Hope University “Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.” Sir Cecil Beaton "They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel."
