Hi, I hope this is the correct place to post this - if not, please be kind to me (as a newbie) and point me in the right direction!
I'm teaching a 1st year Undergraduate module on GIS with approx. 200 Planning and/or Geography students on it next year (Oct 2015 - Mar 2016). This is an Introduction to GIS module, and I'd also like to explore the potential of getting the students to explore and contribute to OSM. This is still quite a way off so I am still developing the material and what the students are going to cover elsewhere in the module. I've found various bits of material on using OSM in this form ( http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Education, http://teachosm.org/en/w, http://learnosm.org/en/osm-data/). I'm looking for someone who has completed something similar in the past and has any recommendation on how to do this most effectively, and what areas in Liverpool would benefit most from the students contribution. Currently, giving the time available to the students, I would be thinking of a desk-based digitisation exercise, but this can be flexible. I've already contacted John McKerrell but I'm interested to talk to other mappers in Liverpool that can suggest areas that need the most attention and/or who might like to be involved. Please feel free to get in touch (on-list or off-list) if you'd like more details. Best wishes, Nick. -- Dr Nick Bearman | Research Associate & University Teacher | n.bear...@liverpool.ac.uk Department of Geography and Planning | University of Liverpool
