"The Master’s Programme Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (M-GEO) is a two-year academic curriculum at MSc level, taught fully in English, dedicated to understanding the earth’s systems from a geographic and spatial perspective. The field of Geo-information Science and Earth Observation has, in recent years, witnessed fast scientific and technological developments. As a result, geographic information has become a vital asset to society and part of our daily life. The ubiquitous production and availability of spatial data require cloud computing and new technology to turn the increasing volume of ‘big data’ to good use. The growing range of global challenges, from climate change and resource depletion to environmental pollution and pandemic diseases, that our society and in particular the more vulnerable populations on our planet are facing, increases the demand for academic professionals who have the ability, attitudes and skills to design solutions that are sustainable, transdisciplinary and innovative with positive societal impacts. Our education focuses on addressing these global problems by means of advanced geo-information and earth observation applications."@en .

Blended learning combines face-to-face lectures with flipped\nclassroom via online learning materials. Tutorials are self-learning online materials that stimulates learning by doing with some limited coaching. The students will work, hereafter, in multinational groups (consisting of 3-4 persons) on a article or story, combine and develop their skills in role-playing, and present in a “simulated” public hearing setup."@en .

"The objective of this course is to equip students with an interest in geo-journalism skills to deliver spatial products and thematic information in a condensed, easily understandable format addressing the appropriate level for broad societal uptake.\n\nStories about our Planet are broad by nature and it is the job of a journalist to help pin down the often interconnected reasons that drive environmental change. The growth of large, publicly accessible datasets presents the media community with new opportunities, but this also comes with the need for new skills to turn this trove of information into easy-to-understand, evidence-based stories. Simultaneously, ITC/UT has been teaching applied geo-information sciences for +60 years, but with increasing emphasis on academic skills in recent years. According to a recent survey, however, more than 80% of our alumni do not pursue an academic career. Therefore, an all-new MSc course on geo-journalism is presented which teaches students to combine geodata, data analytics, and various Bodies of Knowledge (BoK) in creating compelling (cartographic) infographics to support their storytelling. Using this knowledge and skill, students are enabled to create compelling (cartographic) infographics in minutes rather than days. These infographics are fully semantically enriched, allowing others to see and question the data sources and underlying analyses. With each course assignment, students gradually populate their online NEWSroom with blog articles annotated by these (cartographic) infographics. As portfolio of the student’s environmental storytelling efforts, this NEWSroom also helps improve their personal branding since their reporting is automatically indexed by Microsoft Bing and Google search because of the Semantic Web.\n\nThe skills taught in this course provide important ‘spill-overs’; the open-source technology stack used not only facilitates fact-checking of claims made in news and blog articles, but also those in scientific journal articles. Studies show that only 10~30% of published science articles are reproducible. Many argue this is a logical result of the publishing format as in most papers textual reference is made such as “this experiment was conducted as previously reported [insert reference here]” instead of a live reference to the online executable algorithm and workflow to recreate the results. Our hope is that it will enable those with an enthusiasm for storytelling to use these rapid geo-information pipelines to support their valorisation efforts in publishing (reviews) of scientific findings and how to stimulate viral spread across the Internet."@en .
