Designing and Implementing Location-Based Games for Mathematics Education
Location-based games (LBGs) have increasingly been adopted in education for experiential, situated, and collaborative learning. While used in subjects such as geography and history, their application in mathematics remains underexplored, partly because mathematical concepts are abstract and hard to embed in spatial game environments. This study examines the feasibility and educational potential of LBGs in lower-secondary mathematics. Using a mixe…
The Development of an Educational Outdoor Adventure Mobile App
This article focuses on the development of an educational outdoor adventure mobile app while presenting findings that were derived from various case studies that we conducted using it. The mobile application, called RouteQuizer, is complemented by a web application and a database, forming a system that enables teachers to create educational treasure hunt activities for their students and monitor their performance. The aim of the research was to c…
Geography Teachers’ Knowledge of and Perceptions on Dyslexia
At all levels of education, teachers are actively involved in improving students’ learning outcomes and developing their own pedagogical experience. As a consequence, the teacher’s role in managing learning difficulties is of particular importance. This research investigates secondary school geography teachers’ knowledge of and perceptions of dyslexia. For research purposes, 61 questionnaires were distributed to secondary teachers teaching geogra…
Mapping Cultural Heritage in Coastal Areas with UAS
Dynamic processes in coastal zones and human activities in the coastal environment produce pressure on cultural heritage, especially in touristic places. Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are used as an additional tool for monitoring cultural heritage sites in sensitive coastal areas. UASs provide low-cost accurate spatial data and high-resolution imagery products in various spatial and temporal scales. The use of UAS for mapping cultural heritage si…
Supporting insular research and development through the ‘Archipelago’ information system
Information systems play a crucial role in supporting decision-making for managing and administrating territories at different levels of authority. Unfortunately, most such information systems are not dedicated to or customized for the special needs imposed by islands. In this work we describe the design, implementation, and operation of the 'Archipelago' digital repository, an integrated information system for supporting island research and deve…
