Story Maps in Undergraduate Research
Track: User Presentations - Teaching
Authors: Sarah Battersby, Kevin Remington, Kevin Remington
In this presentation we discuss the integration of Esri's story map products into a senior undergraduate geography research seminar. In the seminar, students completed semester-long group research projects tied to three local community organizations and agencies. To facilitate communication of results to our partner organizations, and to provide resources the organizations could use to communicate to the public, Esri's story maps were used as a primary deliverable for all projects in the course. This presentation focuses on the feasibility of implementation of story maps for web mapping in a non-GIS undergraduate course, and emphasizes the technical challenges, limitations, and successes from our experience integrating story maps as a key part of this research capstone course.
