Summary/Overview of workshop

Covid19 has disrupted education all over the world.  In 2020 the GiScience Global Education Conversations brought together GiScience educators from around the world to discuss how they were affected by the pandemic and what they were doing to continue to deliver quality educations.  

The purpose of this workshop is to continue these conversations but also to develop the next steps of what is needed by educators.

We would like to hear more from GiScience educators to

(1) identify what is required for implementing resilient GIScience Education and 

(2) what is the best way forward.

The workshop session will be broken down as follows:
