“…This links the University to school education in a very practical way. Similarly, Kostelnick et al (2009) integrate students into Geographical Information System (GIS) projects with a range of communities from the academic to the civic.…”

This paper reviews the opportunities and challenges for re-framing the purpose, process, product and assessment of final-year geography dissertations. It argues that the academic centralities of critical thinking, analysis, evaluation, effective communication and independence must be retained, but that the traditional format limits creativity and innovation. Re-imagining capstone projects has implications for students, faculty, departments and institutions, but greater diversity could enhance its relevance to students and employers, better aligning the student experience with the academic interests and future career demands of the 21st century graduate.

“…In the USA, creating a model geographic information science and technology (GIS&T) program in the form of a Body of Knowledge (GIS&T BoK) has been explored broadly to ensure complete coverage of key geospatial technologies (e.g., DiBiase et al 2006;Kemp and Goodchild 1991;Kemp et al 1992) and specifically by considering the needs of individual communities (e.g., Mannel et al 2007;Benhart 2000;Kostelnick et al 2009). Furthermore, some authors have looked at developments in technologies to predict what GIS&T curricula should look like in the future based on past trends (e.g., Nellis 1994;Drummond and French 2008).…”
