Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will manage basic theoretical knowledge of digital cartography and inserting of digital cartographic products to the geographic information systems. They will achieve detailed knowledge about national digital map works and will be introduced with equivalent works from EU countries.

Prerequisites

Cartographic terminology and technique for creation of cartographic works, principles of GIS technology.

Co-requisites

Geographic Information Systems, Computer Science.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Lectures with presentation on Moodle, exercise programs with individual tasks.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

For completing the course should be submitted digital and analog protocols of the exercises and successfully pass an oral examination.
