Towards development of SDI curriculum – BESTSDI project

Spatial information and data are relevant to several professions. Recognizing this, academic institutions have introduced study courses to adress need. New content may be heterogeneous, from definitions and titles to contents. Acknowledging the need to introduce harmonized spatial information content from basics covered by the Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI), a project financed through the Erasmus+ “Western Balkans Academic Education Evolution and Professional’s Sustainable Training for Spatial Data Infrastructures” program, BESTSDI was launched in 2017, with the aim of developing SDI curriculum to provide an aligned apporach to teaching SDI in a broad range of studies and professions. The basic structure comprises three building blocks (basic, advanced, application). Initial SDI Learning Building Blocks are based on the specific structure, developed content and outcome of courses, while partner universities participating in the project are launching test implementation of SDI curricula in their study courses for 2018/2019. Implementation implies the introduction of new obligatory or elective study, depending on the curriculum ad its SDI relevance for specific professions. The contents of the BESTSDI SDI curriculum project and its implementation at partner universities, along with the expected outcomes, are presented in this paper.
