What is GTK?
The Geospatial Tool Kit (GTK) is a set of tools that bring imagery, GPS and GIS together into one turn-key, field-based, decision support solution.

Identifying the problems
Limited access to learning materialsNot enough trainers relative to the demandLimited access to technologyGPS, GIS and Satellite Imagery are used mostly
for research and management and require expertise
Intended for government usage Gap between current knowledge and the level of expertise needed

The Solution? Online Learning?
He didn’t have access to GTK Trainer self-paced learning tools
He returned his GPS a
little to soon!

But… Everyone Learns Differently
Audio Individuals who learn by listening
Visual Learn by watching
Kinesthetic Learn by ‘doing’

Can we address all or at least most of these learning patterns?
Yes, it is easier today because we have Course Management Systems.
Moodle is a course management system (CMS) – a free, Open Source software package designed using sound pedagogical principles, to help educators create effective online learning communities
![Page 11: Facilitating Online Learning of Geospatial Technology for Mapping Invasive Species](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56812cdd550346895d91a301/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
CMS can include:

Multimedia Learning Module
![Page 18: Facilitating Online Learning of Geospatial Technology for Mapping Invasive Species](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56812cdd550346895d91a301/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
How did I make this multimedia learning module?
Adobe Captivate software is one of the most important tools used in the creation of the GTK Trainer learning module
With Captivate, people with little or now multimedia experience can create narrated slideshows, animations, and interactive exercises.
Captivate allows for easy creation of interactive branching – the user can navigate through by making choices and receiving different feedback for each.

eXtension is. . .
An interactive learning environment…connects knowledge consumers with
knowledge providers – experts who know their subject matter inside out
…offers Credible expertise Reliable answers based upon sound research Connections to the best minds
![Page 22: Facilitating Online Learning of Geospatial Technology for Mapping Invasive Species](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56812cdd550346895d91a301/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
eXtension is based on. . .
Encouraging “communities of practice” Loosely-coupled groups of practitioners who work
and learn together around a certain broad topic over an extended period of time
Encouraging “best of the best” content that is science-based, up-to-date, and peer reviewed
Technologies that make it easy for those not versed in web design/development to add, edit, review, comment on, receive feedback on, receive questions about content

Dissemination?
Leverage the Cooperative Extension education network (16,000 + employees in all counties and most tribes across the US, through Land Grant univeristies)
eXtension.org – attempt to bring this “high touch” approach to the Web
One example: Map@Syst, future home of GTK Trainer
