Enhanced teaching and learning in spatial science courses

Educators at all levels, but particularly tertiary, are embracing techniques such as curriculum transformation, the provision of online information and the introduction of multimedia delivery to improve learning by students and gain greater efficiencies in teaching. Curriculum transformation, online information and multimedia delivery can be intimately intertwined to provide a resource-rich environment for learning for a single tutorial, a subject or an entire course at undergraduate or postgraduate level. Many such multimedia “products ” are developed as a reference for course-wide application, professional development or even lifelong learning as an additional aim. This paper will identify the primary issues, techniques and implementations of the new technologies and new techniques for enhanced teaching and learning with particular emphasis on disciplines drawn from the spatial sciences
