Learning Objectives:
Identify common-sense views of geographic phenomena that sharply contrast with established theories and technologies of geographic information
Differentiate applications that can make use of common-sense principles of geography from those that should not
Collaborate with non-GIS experts who use GIS to design applications that match commonsense understanding to an appropriate degree
Effectively communicate the design, procedures, and results of GIS projects to non-GIS audiences (clients, managers, general public)
Evaluate the impact of geospatial technologies (e.g., Google Earth) that allow non-geospatial professionals to create, distribute, and map geographic information
