Deliverables
There are two deliverables for this lesson.
Deliverable 1: Article Reflection After reading the article by Sheppard provide a 500-word max write up reflecting on a potential paradigm shift that 3D modeling and VR induce for communicating and understanding environmental change. Guiding questions:
- What role does/can the local landscape play for communicating environmental/climate change?
- Which role do current developments in 3D modeling and VR play in allowing for an in-my-own-backyard?
| Criteria | Full Marks | Half Marks | No Marks | Possible Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Write up clearly communicates how the local landscape can improve communicating environmental change. | 2 | 1 | 0 | 2 |
| Write up clearly communicates how 3D modeling and VR can improve communicating environmental change. | 3 | 1.5 | 0 | 3 |
| Write up is well thought out, organized, contains some theoretical considerations and clearly communicates why or why not this article is an example of a paradigm shift in the geospatial sciences. | 4 | 2 | 0 | 4 |
| The document is grammatically correct, typo-free, and cited where necessary. | 1 | 0.5 | 0 | 1 |
| Total Points: 10 |
Deliverable 2: Reflection Paper: Write a 750-word max reflection on the course discussing your perspective on 3D modeling and VR for the future of the geospatial sciences. Guiding questions:
- What do you consider the most exciting development in 3D modeling and VR for geospatial sciences?
- Which technology will have the greatest impact or geospatial sciences?
- Do you think that VR or AR/MR will be the dominant technology five years from now?
- Can you name three issues that are still left to be solved in current VR technology?
| Criteria | Full Marks | Half Marks | No Marks | Possible Points |
