Learning outcomes
|
The subject defines the concept of Geoinformatics in the context of geography and geographic education. The lectures are focused on a cross-section of Remote Sensing, Global positioning and Navigation Systems, and Geographic Information Systems. In the lessons, special attention is paid to the issue of data collection and digitization, as well as specific applications of GIS, DPZ and GNSS in social practice, with an emphasis on their role in building the digital competencies of primary and secondary school pupils.
