- Additional information
- Paper describes the first detailed study of how non-GIS specialists use GIS and how best to support them e.g. civil engineers, architects, anthropologists, biologists. Paper had 1,039 full-text downloads in 2018. Further work looked at the importance of context -starting from what the user knows - to facilitate rapid learning. Led to convened sessions at the annual conference of the Royal Geographical Society and a collaboration with the IOE to train secondary school geography teachers - a total of 15 teachers were trained from countries including the UK, USA, Brazil, Nigeria.
