Geospatial Technologies Task Force Report

The report presents an overview of the survey responses, summarizing our findings on teaching, research, and infrastructure (training, support, access to technology and data). The recommendations include a suggested sequencing of future activities, as well as specific tactical (short-term) and strategic (long-term) recommendations.

A survey of JMU faculty regarding their current use and future interest in use of Geospatial Technologies was conducted using Qualtrics. Participation was voluntary and most likely from those interested in or educated about Geospatial Technologies.
