November 14, 2022 2:00 pm (Central Time)
Recorded VCO
Abstract
The Convergence Curriculum for Geospatial Data Science is an integrative framework to prepare next-generation and current-generation students, scholars, and professionals to build the necessary knowledge, skills, and competencies to tackle convergent problems without requiring a series of 15-week courses. In this VCO, we provide a brief overview of the draft version of the curriculum and how it can be used, and then open the remaining time for questions and feedback.
