Scope:
The value of natural and cultural heritage, as part of collective heritage, can be acquired by geographic information systems (GIS) due to the multilayer approach of the spatial configuration. Proficiency in geospatial technologies to collect, process, analyze, interpret, visualize, and communicate geographic information is being increased by undergraduate and graduate students but, in particular, by those who are training to become geography, history and art history teachers at the primary and secondary education level. Some teaching experiences, using personalized learning, distance learning methodology, and GIS, focused on education aims to integrate students and enhance their understanding of the heritage are welcome. Opportunities offered by WebGISin heritage education to learning research and teacher education research also fits with the scope of this book. Chapters of this book should show that students, through geospatial technologies, learn the sustainable approach of heritage, and also the heritage as a diversity of elements due to the complexity of physical, human, cultural and artistic factors involved.
