To register, I could not see the “Enroll” bottom at the bottom of the page. Please, how do I register?
I couldn’t see enrol button at the bottom.
Hi, the Enroll button is at the bottom of this page: http://web.gvsig-training.com/index.php/es/quienes-somos-2/noticias-2/139-massive-online-open-course-introduction-to-gis, after the last sentence ” To enroll in the course enters the following link that will take you to the virtual classroom where you can self-enroll “. Don’t you see it? It should appear at that point. You can try directly to this link: http://moodle.gvsig-training.com/course/view.php?id=99&lang=en
If it doesn’t work, can you try with another web browser?

Hi, I only have QuantumGIS at home, is that OK?
Hi Lyse, the course is with gvSIG. But gvSIG is open source and you can download it
It says the software can only be used on Windows or Ubuntu platforms but I found this link where one can download a Mac version – can this be used during the course?
Thank you.
Dear ocavusoglu, course will carried out based on Windows version of gvSIG 2.1 but you can use as well the 1.11 Mac version. Maybe not all the tools will be immediately available but an official updated version for Mac will be shortly released. Keep in touch, Giuliano.
Thank you very much!
How does it works? I mean, do we have to attend the course at a fixed time, or can we do it when it best fits us?
Dear Vale, course is made up of uploaded videos, quiz and exercises. You can enrol, download all the training material and attend at your convenience.
Hi, tried enrolling but is having challenges with this ID stuff. So what is required of me.
Thanks.
Hi, write a email to mcarrera@gvsig.com. He can help you with your registration problems.
The sign up for this is testing. That could influence first impressions. If you follow the link above in an earlier comment you can find the elusive “Enroll” button. Following that you need an account with gvSIG. There is a section in the sign up for that account that requires a National ID number (presumably for Spain) in the “Otros campos” section. I just filled in a bunch of irrelavent numbers. Then you get your email confirmation. Then you login. Then you enroll. Simples.
hello. I might be late, but i would like to know when another online course will be held for beginners in this current year (2015)? any answers please at naox14@gmail.com
I’d will really appreciate it.
Hello, there will be a new edition of this course soon. We will inform about that here at the blog too.
Thank you very much for taking time to answer.
