We suggest that we can successfully bring our researchconcepts into our traditional courses without unduly modifying the established course content.To accomplish this task, we use an out-of-class, self-directed computer simulation game bywhich students are expected to gain introductory knowledge of the research concepts as they“play” the game. We then draw connections between what they learned from the game and whatthey are learning (or not) in the course. Our hope is that this experiential form of learning canserve to bridge our research and teaching goals. To

Course outcomes from the five courses had arange of 1 to 10 embedded indicators designated to assess them, and a total of 53 to 445 pointsfor each outcome.To employ the “mean” approach, we computed the arithmetic mean of the total number of pointsearned by students in the course on all embedded indicators that mapped to a particular courseoutcome. We then divided this mean by the total number of points possible for that outcome,and compared the result to our goal for success (80% or greater).The “binning” approach was more complicated.

Oneof the principal barriers to more wide scale implementation of GIS is the lack of experiencedpersonnel. Since people are one of the four major components in GIS development (otherthree being hardware, software and data), there exists an urgent need to have professionalsknowledgeable in GIS technology9.Craver et al. 2004 note that although there are many computer-aided learning tutorial systemsfor GIS, they do not tend to be fully interactive and rely largely on the pre-cooked examplesto demonstrate GIS methods with the result that student input and ability to explore conceptand practical problem interactively and
