Course objectives
This subject is focused on the field of GIS (Geographical Information Systems) with primary aim to learn the main theoretical and practical approaches in this field of study. Student will be able to practically use GIS in the educational field (e.g. to create a map that will be correct from a cartographical point of view), but also able to explain theoretical background of this approach. Whole subject deals with problematics of GIS usage in lessons of Geography at high schools.
