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.

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.
