Bodzin, Alec M.; Anastasio, David; Sharif, Rajhida; Rutzmoser, Scott – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2016
Learning with Web-based geographic information system (Web GIS) can promote geospatial thinking and analysis of georeferenced data. Web GIS can enable learners to analyze rich data sets to understand spatial relationships that are managed in georeferenced data visualizations. We developed a Web GIS plate tectonics simulation as a capstone learning…

Bodzin, Alec M.; Fu, Qiong; Bressler, Denise; Vallera, Farah L. – Computers in the Schools, 2015
Geospatially enabled learning technologies may enhance Earth science learning by placing emphasis on geographic space, visualization, scale, representation, and geospatial thinking and reasoning (GTR) skills. This study examined if and how a series of Web geographic information system investigations that the researchers developed improved urban…
