Reorganizing
At this point, it really doesn't make sense to organize these tutorials by the year they were created. Using this space to organize them by broad topic category, and we'll eventually use this to replace the above temporally-based layout.

Tutorials From 2010 and earlier
The tutorials from here down are old enough that I have not included them in the categorized lists above. If future students decide to update these ones, they are more than welcome to, and at that time it can be moved into the categorized lists above.
These are from a completed class, and the students have released control of the tutorial contents to the community. If you want to update/correct/improve any of these tutorials, please feel free to log in and help improve our tutorials.
Unless otherwise noted in the individual tutorial, all of these were originally developed on/for a Windows environment. Specifically, most students were using classroom computers running Windows XP, with QGIS 1.5 (including GRASS Tools), and FWTools. Please note that this environment imposed a 32 bit Windows XP constraint that prevented the system from using all the RAM in the computers, which is likely the culprit in those cases where the tutorial authors complained that the tools could not work with larger datasets.
2010 contributions:
- Image Classification Tutorial using Orfeo Toolbox by Philippe Gratton
- Spatial data management using PostGIS by Jean Bouffard
- Using GIS for Decision Support in Emergency Medical Services by Matt Leyenaar
- Multiple Criteria Evaluation in Allocating Land for Waste Incineration by Ja'far Rogers
- Wind turbine location suitability by Joe Rogers, revised by Colton Male
- Oil Platform Location Suitability using WMS by Kurtis Boyce

- Suitable Locations for the Reintroduction of the Black Tailed Prairie Dog by Jesse van den Berg
- Generating Wetness Indices for Watersheds in GRASS by Matt Giles revised by Ashley Ford
Previous Tutorials
A couple of tutorials from the 2008 class have been ported, but importing the remainder is hampered by version differences in the wiki software used to build them.
- Vancouver-Whistler race planning with GRASS and QGIS by Christian Bews
- Using GPX for the novice geocacher by Pauline Pyke
