Abstract

Crowd Sourcing a Story Map for Study Abroad Students
Track: Web Apps
Authors: Trevor Shanklin

The project builds on a pilot from the summer of 2013. The new pilot is going to use the ESRI Story Map template to better display pictures and reflections posted by study abroad students in Florence, Italy. It will also incorporate the LESCANT model for heightening cross-cultural sensitivity. Students will now be able to upload their pictures and reflections directly to the hosting service on the LARC servers. An electronic kiosk on campus will automatically cycle through the postings.
