| Abstract: | The GIS Laboratory of the University of Malta was set up in 1996 and has since then provided academic support to a number of departments within the University on the concepts and application of Geographic Information Systems. The objectives of this chapter are to (a) identify key elements of an introductory undergraduate GIS study-unit; (b) identify the problems of teaching GIS at undergraduate level in various disciplines; and (c) discuss the role of student self-learning in the application of GIS. This chapter will use the experience gained at the University of Malta and the multi-disciplinary approaches to teaching GIS. |
