Installed from a DVD, it provides more than 60 labs that help students examine issues such as dwindling resources, environmental equity, and global politics. Each lab activity functions independently, but some labs are organized.\r\n<h2>General Interest Topics<\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Determining Areas Accessible to Search and Rescue Teams in the Ouachita National Forest<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The Global Oil Market: A Spatial Perspective of This Complex Phenomenon<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>Forestry Topics<\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Determining Insect Vulnerability<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Calculating Watershed Impacts<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>Business Topics<\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Demographic and Lifestyle Segmentation<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Sales Territory Design<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nSpatiaLABS teach students how to approach a spatial problem using analysis, visualization, and maps. Rather than teaching the mechanics of geospatial tools, labs focus on teaching students how to approach a spatial problem. SpatiaLABS provide a framework for analyzing those concepts against real-world issues.\r\n\r\nThere is an annual fee to add SpatiaLABS to an Esri university site license. For organizations without an Esri university site license, SpatiaLABS licenses can be purchased on an individual basis. SpatiaLABS are classified by level. Level 1 labs are for students with little or no exposure to GIS. Level 2 labs require some basic GIS skills. Level 3 labs are advanced activities written more like guidelines, providing students with what they need to do but little, if any, instruction on how. Most labs require students to have had some exposure to GIS.
