Course objectives
The aim of the subject is to introduce students to the theoretical knowledge of the field of cartography and geoinformatics. Students will also learn about the possibilities of developing map and geo-information skills, which involve working with spatial data. Students will be introduced to the entire cyclical process of map development, or geoinformation skills, i.e. from map selection, through reading, analysis, interpretation to its creation, visualization and sharing. After completing the course, students should be able to pass on basic knowledge to pupils in primary school and connect the curriculum with the expected outcomes.
Learning outcomes
Students: - master the basic theory of cartography and geoinformatics; - explain the basic terms and present the use of cartography in practice and in education; - selects, reads, analyzes, interprets, creates and visualizes a map according to a specific task; - applies cartographic principles when creating a map; - they practically master the basics of terrain mapping.
