Cartography 2 is organized around active-learning projects, all of which will be published in the Web. The projects have been selected so that they raise a variety of technical and methodological problems related to the design of maps in the Web. Experience with Windows-based computers is valuable, as is any experience with ArcView, PhotoShop, Netscape Composer, Internet Explorer, and MS Office software.
