The Kentucky Association of Mapping Professionals, the National Geospatial Technology Center of Excellence and Directions Magazine are proud to announce the inaugural event in our Distinguished Geospatial Speaker Series. Join us on September 21, 2016 at 2pm Eastern to hear our first Distinguished Geospatial Speaker of the series, David DiBiase, share his perspectives and experience on Ethics in GIS Education and Professional Practice.

Awareness of ethical pitfalls, and the ability to apply moral reasoning skills when confronted with ethical challenges, is part of what it means to be a geospatial professional. It should also be part of what students learn about GIS and GIScience. During his presentation, DiBiase plans to:

  *   describe the National Science Foundation (NSF)-sponsored GIS Professional Ethics Project, and the collection of ethical case studies the project has produced, and
  *   explain how the case method has been applied in a mandatory ethics workshop for students in Penn State University's online masters degree in GIS.
Beyond the case studies, he plans on discussing ethical challenges that students have cited, sharing assessments of the workshop’s effectiveness, and discussing how ethics cases - along with GIS Code of Ethics and other resources related to geospatial ethics, law and policy - might be deployed in work settings for continuing professional development.
