What People Are Saying About LandTrustGIS.org and the Courses
"It is great! What a great idea. Like the short course,
it provides a great overview of what you can do, as well as some
practical tips and references for more information."
"The website is VERY useful, especially for those of
us who have never had GIS before and are trying to set up a 'system'.
It's very good at guiding us through everything from selecting
software to deciding on file name structure. It's a remedial
level, but that's just great. Too many GIS websites are geared
towards computer 'geeks', and let's just face it, if we were
true computer geeks we probably wouldn't be working for non-profits!" |
A big thanks to the participants in our July GIS
courses who gave us some feedback to improve them. In response to their
suggestions we are offering more specific courses and will work to better
separate beginning and advanced audiences.
