The 2014 conference theme is “Educating for a Sustainable Future”.
Video-based educational resources are well suited to explaining the dynamic nature of geosciences, specifically processes that challenge students to think both temporally and spatially. In this workshop, through a series of four monthly sessions, participants will explore the best practices for designing and using videos, review the existing technology (hardware and software), share resources, develop new ones, and discuss the challenges and opportunities.
The workshop will include a series of web-based synchronous and asynchronous sessions, including presentations, sharing among participants, on-line chat sessions, and time for guided group work. A primary focus of the workshop will be the development of online resources for geoscience faculty and departments that assist with ongoing video design and use in geoscience education including examples drawn from participant experiences. These materials will be published on the website for use by other faculty. We will also work to develop a network of video developers and end-users.
This virtual workshop, held for two hours on the first Friday of the month, for four months during Spring 2014, is open to all faculty who teach undergraduate geoscience courses and who are currently incorporating homemade videos in their courses or who will begin to develop these resources as part of this program.
Cost is $200.

The GIS/CAMA 2014 Conference Committee has organized the program according to these overall program tracks or themes:
- Get It Done - At a time when budgets and staff sizes are dwindling, getting your work done better and more efficiently is critical. Presentations in this track are designed to give you ideas for improving processes from field data collection to data integrity.
- Run the Numbers - Accurate and equitable valuations are the cornerstone of an assessment office. Learn new ways of analyzing data and take away the lessons learned from statistical models that are being used all over the world.
- Serve It Up - Public confidence can rise and fall based on effective sharing and communication of property data and values with taxpayers, businesses, and other entities. Let peers show you how they have stepped up to the challenge and changed the ways or methods they utilize, display, and communicate data.
