A squad of final-year BSc Geography students from Government College, Karyavattom, has developed a student-friendly web exertion that enables secondary schoolhouse students to representation works diverseness wrong their schoolhouse campuses, requiring lone an Android telephone oregon web browser.
The lightweight web instrumentality requires nary installation and allows users to behaviour elemental tract surveys and instantly make biodiversity maps with basal cartographic elements.
Designed with an intuitive interface that is suited for students with minimal method background, the exertion (https://plant-diversity-mapping.web.app/) combines tract reflection with real-time integer mapping to fortify spatial thinking, biology consciousness and applicable surveying skills done hands-on learning.
The task was created arsenic portion of an experiential, technology-integrated world workout nether the guidance of Pratheep Kumar B., Assistant Professor, Department of Geography. The inaugural aligns with the objectives of Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education (KITE) which promotes integer pedagogy successful classrooms.
