UC GIS Week

Shifting the Gravity of GIS to the Web

A modern GIS is a web GIS that revolves around data services, cloud architectures, configurable applications, and automation. However, the curriculum and structure of GIS education has not kept pace with these changes. Looking at the skills required in the field today, there is a clear mismatch with the desktop-centric GIS education that is still the foundation of many GIS courses and curriculum. This session will review the changes in industry and computing driving the need for changes in GIS education and it will also feature resources, case studies, and lessons to assist educators and students.

GIS Freelancing

I have been freelancing since 2017. In this course of time I have been able to complete 370+ projects in 5 years with 4•9☆/5•0☆ Rating. I want to guide GIS students to make a part time career in freelance sites like fiverr and upwork. I will arrange a workshop for guidance on how to make freelance accounts and how to get orders by convincing clients about the job.
