How does this help open up Environmental Science?

  • Can embed text/videos/maps/images to provide a varied learning experience.
  • Could provides a pre-introduction to a site allowing familiarisation.
  • A user-friendly technology for students to use for presentations/assessments.
  • Opportunity to be a viable alternative to students unable to make a trip.

 

Are there barriers to the learners?

  • There could be issues with bandwidth (this needs testing)
  • We need to check with an EDI expert how this application interacts with, for example, screenreaders.
