Collecting spatial information with the smartphone reveals new possibilities for teaching.
Planning and procedure can be divided into three phases: didactic-conceptual phase, implementation and application.
On excursions crowd sampling experiments can be conducted in real-time. The advantage: the results can be analysed and discussed directly on site.
GISsmox is based on the idea that the active confrontation with spatial structures strengthens and deepens the knowledge.
Under "conceptual design" you can find an example of use to test the GISsmox approach as well as detailed information.
GISsmox stands for “GIS supported mobile outdoor experiments”. In the framework of the project, teaching scenarios are developed for which spatial data can be recorded and analysed without the need of previous GIS-knowledge.
