The links below are to Adobe Acrobat. They provide an introduction to the key concepts and applications of GIS delivered in a multimedia format. Acrobat is a standard presentation software package that is very easy to use. Viewer software is available for all operating systems. We hope that they will be useful in teaching students the key concepts associated with GIS.
If you have Acrobat installed on the PC you are viewing this Web site from, just click on the link and Acrobat will be automatically loaded and available to display the presentation. Pressing "Ctrl-L" will load the presentation "full screen"; you can move through the slides by pressing the spacebar.
