Status Report for Our Living Camps: An Interactive Environmental Content Management and Mapping Tool Designed to Enhance Student Learning and Participation

Abstract

Status report for the 2010/2011 IIF project, "Our Living Campus." From the original description: "The purpose of this project was to develop an interactive web-based environmental content management and mapping tool for the University of Missouri campus. The web-based system is designed to enhance student learning and awareness of environmental issues. It will also facilitate the development and coordination of campus-based environmental projects and course assignments. The tool will provide ways for students to enter geographically-referenced environmental information, such as through Google Maps. The tool has the potential to become a highly visible focal point for student environmental education by increasing participation in active learning activities and by providing relevant “living” examples that illustrate environmental issues."
