Directions Magazine is offering several special articles in its current 'education week' making for excellent reading. Starting from a podcast discussing recent news and announcements and exploring trends in the geospatial education domain, enquiries about UNIGIS led to a well received brief article about the "Ten Things You Need to Know about UNIGIS".
This in turn leads to interesting discussion of what's unique about UNIGIS, how and why distance learning for in-service professional development evolves compared to more traditional learning pathways, and how lifelong learning cycles might or might not accelerate in the future ... talk about this with your peers!
