Towards a mobile application for an engineering geology course: A contribution to improved student learning

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:One of the subjects studied on engineering geology courses is the description of rock masses and the application of geotechnical classifications. Field information is collected and organised in order to make possible to apply rock mass classification systems and analyse stereographic projection data. The present work proposes the use of computer supported ubiquitous learning to collect and treat field data. It presents work in progress towards the creation of a mobile application suitable for Engineering Geology courses. A first prototype for the Apple iOS system is presented.
