The course was designed to be completely hands-on training with just enough theory to supplement learning. The participants were exposed to the power of open-source QGIS through curated exercises which were based on local datasets. The sessions gradually progressed from introductory topics such as data models in GIS to advance topics such as geospatial analysis, in addition, there were field demonstrations on DGPS and field data collection using Android mobile devices.  All of the participants showed great enthusiasm in learning modern technology and were very satisfied with the outcome of the works as evidenced from their feedback of the training.
