The
Geographer's Craft
"The Geographers Craft is a teaching initiative being pursued in the Department of
Geography at The University of Texas at Austin to improve the teaching of geographical
techniques at the introductory level. It is a two-semester course experimenting with
active-learning, problem-solving methods of instruction and hypermedia, Internet-based
course materials. The goal is to promote analytical reasoning and critical thinking by
having students address research problems with 'appropriate' geographical concepts and
techniques, whether drawn from cartography, geographic information systems, remote
sensing, spatial statistics, or other information technologies. An extensive set of
materials for The Geographer's Craft project is being made available on-line through the
Internet in the form of an electronic textbook and electronic laboratory guide."
The site includes a very useful section of links to online Geography resources.
