Teaching GIS&T.

The authors introduce this special issue on teaching geographic information science and technology (GIS&T). The authors discuss the history of teaching GIS&T and the technology-driven evolution of associated educational curricula. They note workstation GIS&T taught in the 1980s, desktop GIS&T taught in the 1990s, and the ubiquity of GIS&T in the 2000s, with a concomitant loss of relevance attributed to contemporary academic geography. The authors proceed to introduce specific papers in the issue with reference to the "GIS&T Body of Knowledge (BoK)."
