Collaborative Learning with GI. (GI_EDU)

Duration

01.02.2007 - 31.07.2012

 

Abstract

On the heels of the interactive social Web 2.0 world, GI increasingly goes public and social. This opens a broad range of applications in learning from interactive and collaborative planning of the sustainable city to mapping global change and from visualizing local reafforestation projects to analyzing spatial conflicts.

Enhanced interactivity supports participative learning processes based on real world problems.

Research currently focuses on the inclusion of learners‘ perspectives in pedagocical settings based on GI as well as the construction of specific learning environments.
