[Geo4All] [OSGeo-Discuss] Info. needed on GIS education initiatives on Sustainable tourism development

[Suchith Anand]

Thanks Patrick for the links. I am impressed by the work done by students for  Europa challenge 2017, one of interesting work was on World Heritage Sites: Earth Viewer<http://eval.whs.aworldbridgelabs.com/aworldbridge_whs.html>


Understanding, learning about, and protecting cultural heritage is a key foundational element for sustainability of a Smart City and Community. The students by developing this  hope to make this process easily accessible, simple to use, and a teaching tool for all educational institutions and communities around the world. This project demonstrates a redesign of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites data and visualized for greater understanding .


Great example to learn and I will share this.


Best wishes,


Suchith

Suchith,



The education programs offered by the NASA Teacher-In-Space astronaut and Master Teacher, Ron Fortunato, all open source and open data, clearly shows what is possible in the realm of truly inspired GeoForAll education. Especially given his students have already provided the UN/FAO with their invasive species tracking system.
