Abstract

SUMMARY The Institute for Geoinformatics in Munster (IfGI) cooperates with High Schools in order to address two objectives simultaneously: i. Improving High School education by supporting the introduction of GI as an emerging topic into classes, and ii. To perform a marketing strategy for students’ recruitment for IfGI’s GI Bachelors program. IfGI students went into High Schools teaching short modules in GI Science. Based on the very positive feedback of High School students and teachers, we are already initiating to extend the measures, e.g., by GI training courses for teachers. A positive side effect was the introduction of new learning styles for GI undergraduates: They were guided to develop and teach the GI modules in High Schools. Being recognized as a regular course in “general studies”, they acquired additional, non-technical key qualifications in teaching, didactics, and presentations.
