WADAWURRUNG DYA BAAP NGOBEEYT: TEACHING SPATIAL MAPPING TECHNOLOGIES Carolyn Woodley and Sue
Marshall, This discussion
reports on a project that developed an education programme to
support Indigenous communities in the uptake of spatial mapping
technologies in Victoria, Australia. The project developed practical
strategies to build community capacity in Aboriginal Cultural
Heritage Management and Protection. An educational programme
developed in collaboration with Wadawurrung cultural heritage
officers supported learners to apply Geographical Information
Systems (GIS) to cultural heritage management and to collect data
about cultural heritage using a PC mapping tablet. The paper will
discuss the need for universities to have appropriate and respectful
relationships with Aboriginal communities to co-develop positive
learning experiences that encourage the uptake of the technologies. |
