Abstract

Based on a hundred years of experience in geomatics education at Laval University, certain futitre directions for instruction emerge. This paper considers the content of geomatics courses and the methods of delivery. The content of courses must adjust to the convergence of technologies as, for example, when methods of location become embed~ ded in more and more (smaller and smaller) ubiq~ uitous devices. A central concept in instructional design is the "half~ life" of the mate rial taught. Of equal importance is the societal context of the use of geomatics technology. At the same time, the methods of instruction are changing due to the same pressures of technological change. A main conclusion is that teaching requires substantial geospatial infrastructural investments.
