The conference's concern for GIS education and training is seen from the perspective of an educationist. A model of the curriculum is presented which sees it is an interaction between aims and objectives, content, teaching methods and assessment. This model reveals a conference (and this collection of papers) much concerned with the content of GIS, purposefully discussing the objectives of GIS courses, but with only limited attention to how they should be taught and assessed. Nor is much revealed as to how students experience these courses.
