Louise MacKay
Louise Mackay is a research fellow in the School of Geography at the University of Leeds. Since 2003 she has worked on the JISC Digital Libraries in Support of Innovative Approaches to Teaching and Learning in Geography project as a learning materials developer and tutor of online materials in Earth Observation to Physical Geography undergraduates. From 2003 to 2006 Louise lived in Tokyo, Japan, whilst delivering online materials to students at the University of Leeds, a unique experience which provided considerable insight to the nature of online teaching and learning. Her academic research focuses on land cover extraction and analysis from high spatial resolution Earth observation data, supported by over 8 years experience in spatial analysis, geographical information systems and image processing. Louise has an undergraduate degree in Geography, a Masters degree in Applied Remote Sensing and a PhD in Earth Observation; throughout her career she has developed and delivered material for undergraduate, postgraduate and industrial consultancy teaching in GIS and Earth Observation. For this book her experience of developing and delivering online materials, evaluation of online teaching and the introduction of digital repository use as a means to collect materials for storage and appropriation provides the background material to several chapters.
