WEEK FIVE BLOG POST

For the last week I want you to give your feedback on the module using the link below:

MODULE SURVEY 2016

I have asked two questions specifically about Microsoft Azure - this has been a tremendous addition to this module and the course overall. Your comments will help us to develop the cloud computing resource in the future.

After completing the survey please post a comment on this blog to let me know you have completed the survey. If you complete the survey but don't let me know via the blog I cannot award the 1%. 

Posts by Sunday 1st May at the latest please.

WEEK FOUR BLOG POST

This week, for the 1%, I want you to read the blog post in the link below.

Web map design (MAIN BLOG ARTICLE)

We had considered using MangoMap in this module but others tools like OpenLayers and Geoserver link much better with JavaScript, are more widely known and offer much greater functionality. Also, unfortunately, MangoMap stopped being free! The blog post discusses some elements of good design for web maps rather than standard maps for expert users. Discuss some of the main differences between (A) standard maps for expert users and (B) web based maps for the masses.

The following link from Esri may offer some help:

Supporting story (NOT THE MAIN BLOG ARTICLE)

Both articles will offer some help when it comes to completing assignment 2 (the practical project). Please make sure you post your comments by Sunday of this week (10th April) - posts after Sunday will not receive the 1% mark.
