Distance-learning students must have access to Idrisi Taiga software, which is the primary GIS utilized for this course. Distance-learning students can obtain the "student-starter license" for $95, upon proof of student status. Note: Idrisi is for PC computers; it is difficult to run on "Mac" computers.

The course begins officially on Jan. 13. All distance-learning students should contact the instructor. Please fill out and return the student agreement form. For more information, contact J.S. Aber (jaber@emporia.edu).
