Description

Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Cartography, Geographic Information Science and Geodesy, grade: 1, University of Salzburg (ZGIS), language: English, abstract: This paper presents a scavenger hunt. A scavenger hunt can be a ludic and active approach to address pupils and transport educational and subject content. Thus, this scavenger aims to familiarize pupils of the age class 10-12 years with GIS and the possibilities GIS offer in a playful manner. It includes 5 stations which are addressed by following an instruction-sheet with QR-codes leading to the respective places and posing questions and tasks. For the scavenger hunt there are two datasets that must be handled: The tasks for each station including the submitted answers and the tracks of the groups. The results and the tracks should also be made available to the Z_GIS geoportal following the guidelines of open standards and interoperability. To fulfill these requirements a combination of two ESRI software products was used: ArcGIS Collector and Survey123. The tracks can be accessed as web feature service via REST URL whereas the survey answers are directly integrated into a dashboard with a map. So, the results are immediately updated and available in ArcGIS Online for inspection, comparison and discussion.
