In order to teach learners the functional
elements of a GIS and the various steps that
they should follow in order to create their own
GIS project, learners will make use of data sets
and instructional worksheets. The data sets
consist of maps, aerial photographs and digital
photographs of the camps that the learners will
stay at when they embark upon their Epic outdoor
educational journey. By creating a GIS project,
learners will acquire a great deal of information
about the Epic and they will also learn GIS and
map work skills and terminologies.
