Learning goals, June-July 2021

My learning goal is to be able to use GIS for work in marine biology or a conservation field. I hope that what I do can make a difference to the world some how.

Short term I am looking to complete this course with a good understanding of all it covers so that I can develop my skills further on.

My goal is to learn the basics of GIS to be able to apply at work

HI Mac, Im not sure whether this will be covered in this course or not, but there are a vareity of GIS software apps available for use on mobile devices (tablets and mobile phones) which allow recording of survey data and sightings ā€œin the fieldā€ which can then be used direct within GIS software. Qfield is one such app which links directly with QGIS but there are also others which upload the survey data direct from field observation to ā€œcloud storageā€ actually during survey, so the survey data can be access and mapped in real time ā€œback at baseā€. If it is not covered in this course, then I can provide you with a bit more help in this area if you need it. Cheers Jonathan

My goal is to learn basic GIS components as well as to be able to create an informative, correct and clear maps using the QGIS tool as this will help me in the future.

Hi everyone. My goal for this course is to practice my QGIS skills and possibly use spatial data from the choughs conservation project I am working on. Specifically, I would like to learn how to transfer and represent public sighting data in QGis.

My goal is to be able to use GIS for conservation research.

However, during this course, i wish to learn all GIS basics and do all assignments and improve my skills

I am currently doing some refresher training having not used GIS in a work environment for going on 6 years. I had previously used GIS extensively in property and land management roles, but I want to diversify my GIS and knowledge skill set (especially around ecology and conservation). Iā€™m hoping that being on this brilliant course, will enable me to at least make a start along that learning pathway.

Hi @JonathanGatward great to know. Thank you I might be in touch about that in the future.

Thanks for the interesting session. Iā€™m looking forward to more. This being my first time trying QGIS, I am able to see the various possibilities that come along with the application.

Iā€™m enjoying this course. I absolutely love the challenge!

I have a basic goal of being able to map the spatial data Iā€™ve been collecting with a small team. Anything else is a welcome bonus!

I really like this course, my learning goal is to learn how to upload GPS data from the field and have different layers maps that will communicate the information i got from the field.

My learning goal for this course is to create a GIS project to combine our wolf monitoring data with free environmental data,visualise our field data effectively and create maps that clearly show our wolf home range.

My goal in this course is to learn how to operate QGIS, as I am already familiar but not best with ArcGis that Iā€™ve learnt when doing my degree. Now, I have so much passion to work as a gis specialist or technician. I believe this will be a great help for me as I am preparing my self for the future either on my studies or work.

My learning goal for this course is to use in a correct way the tools offered by the program and to deepen my knowledge of basic SIG issues. I would also like to learn how to build informative and clear maps.

I would like to learn to use QGIS at least at such a level that I will be able to import field data into the program for my masterā€™s thesis and then process it in QGIS myself.

my goals for this course are to refresh some of the GIS skills Iā€™ve learnt already, so that I can analyse spatial data using some of the GIS tools, and create maps to communicate spatial data in a meaningful way to others

Iā€™d like to learn the basics of GIS since I am a beginner

My goals for this course is to gain the basics of using GIS as a tool to apply the knowledge on my current work

my goal for this course is to sharpen my gis skills and be able to apply them to any situation
