The purpose of MOERMI is to increase utilization of Geospatial technology across all disciplines by mentoring faculty who have limited or no prior experience with Geospatial technology, and guiding them through the processes of learning GIS skills and how those skills are applied to their discipline. create freely-accessible course-modules and class activities that will acclimate their students to the use of GIS and related technologies in their disciplines.  The class activities generated in this project are generally of one or two lectures duration.

Presently there are very few OERs for geospatial technology and most of them are not responsive to the unique social and cultural milieu of Morgan's Students.  This project aims to fill this void with robust, responsive, and accessibility resources that represent the research interests of Urban societies and economies.  Our goal is to turn Baltimore into a laboratory in which the subjects of urban environments can be explored and translated into meaningful learning opportunities with geospatial technology.
