This is the final week for our course in Cloud and Server GIS. There is no new content from me this week, instead, you will spend the week working on your term projects and producing a written report and video demonstration.
At the successful completion of this lesson, you should be able to:
As part of your term project, you're required to submit a video demonstration that you record using screen capturing software such as Zoom, Screencastomatic, Adobe Captivate, etc.
Please review the Term Project Rubric [1] to get an idea of what elements are required in the video.
Please attempt to host this online somewhere in a location such as a Box folder, blog, or website so that the instructor can view it using a simple URL. If all else fails, you can send the instructor a compiled .mp4 or other similar video file compatible with common media playing software.
If you are really happy with your video, I encourage you to make it public on YouTube or a similar video sharing site. A demonstration of what you can do with cloud and server GIS can be an excellent part of your portfolio. One of its advantages is that it remains accessible even when the server instance is not.
If you have questions about how to make videos, please post them on the Technical Discussion Forum in Canvas.
This week is dedicated to working on the term project. When you have finished, please post your writeup to the appropriate drop box on Canvas. Your writeup should contain a hyperlink to your video demonstration. If that is not possible, you can make a separate upload of a video file onto your term project submission. Canvas allows for multiple uploaded files.
The writeup should be about 500 - 1000 words. If it is any shorter, you'll have trouble covering all the required elements in enough depth.
Please review the Term Project Rubric [1] to understand what is required, and post to the forum or use email if you need any clarification.
