David Avery, Jeffrey Dunn & Michael HowserEDUCAUSE 2010 - October 12-15, 2010
CHALLENGECurriculum content often includes a spatial component but it is difficult to integrate maps and geographic data within the class. By developing a series of interactive resources to enable students to explore a concept from a location based perspective, course content can be enhanced with contextual based maps and geographic data.
Utilize Quick Response (QR) codes to enable users to quickly view a course related resource via a mobile device. QR codes are p rov ided in addition to URLs.
Develop interact ive Google Map mash-ups using maps and data that enhance course content. Map Mash-up includes data layers, address search, and historic maps and/or air photos.
