Open Webmapping Course

Ian Turton has completed an Open Web Mapping course well worth studying:
... I was busy writing and delivering a new course for PennState on Open Web Mapping. Finally its all over and its time to give back to the community first there is a page of student projects the majority are a built with GeoServer and MapBuilder at http://webmapping.mgis.psu.edu/mapbuilder/demo/index2.html. PennState has also generously agreed to give away the course ware under a CCSA license so you can all see what I've been saying about your projects at https://courseware.e-education.psu.edu/courses/geog585/content/home.html. If any one would like to take the two case study lessons and roll them in to tutorials you're welcome.

In general all the students were very happy about the quality and ease of use of the open source tools they used, mostly they wanted more MapBuilder documentation and more projections.
