The South African Environmental Observation Network (SAEON) in keeping abreast with changes in technology and pedagogy has developed an e-learning programme on the Biomes of South Africa for grade 10 Life Science aligned to the South African Curriculum Assessment and Policy Statements(CAPS).
The South African Environmental Observation Network (SAEON) presents this free Geographic Information System (GIS) eLearning material. The training material includes QGIS and Google Earth tutorials. This free online learning programme on GIS is also aligned to the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS) and will be useful to Geography Educators and organisations involved in environmental science education training.
The purpose of this manual is to ensure that the subject content knowledge on biomes is better understood as the learner activities promote inquiry based thinking.
