Virtual Remote Sensing Workshop

During the past several months the technology team has been working on designing a virtual workshop in remote sensing. The Virtual Workshop is nearly completed and can be viewed at http://Techcenter.jefferson.kctcs.edu/rs/. The workshop has six modules: Physical Properties of Light, Coordinates and Projections, Sensing Platforms, GPS, 2D GIS, and Images. The workshop is composed of video, text and projects to be completed by the participant. The participant will need to have ArcGis 9.2 to complete the workshop and 3D Analysis to complete the Image part. Please contact Tammy.McCollum@kctcs.edu if you use the information in the workshop. At this moment the workshop does not have a password on the content and the content may change as the final parts are being added to the workshop. This workshop was made possible by a grant from the Kentucky Department of Geospatial Information and the KITCenter National Science Foundation Regional IT Center.
