Spatial Literacy in Teaching (SPLINT)
University of Leicester, with the University of Nottingham and UCL
This CETL will be a resource for setting national and international standards for the teaching of spatial literacy, fundamental to answering the question ‘where?’ activities such as environmental disasters or terrorist activities occur. The US Department of Labor recently identified geospatial technology, along with biotechnology and nanotechnology, as the three most important evolving fields. In particular, current and prospective graduate students on existing geospatial technology programmes will benefit from our mission to develop best pedagogic practice for the teaching of spatial literacy, exploiting developments in personal navigation technology and virtual reality (VR), and catering for the increasingly diverse disciplinary background of students.
