What people are saying
“We added a direct link (and banner) to Digimap on the Public Services Course in our VLE. In addition we promoted the resource to all relevant teaching staff and offered training as required (we haven’t had to do any training as Digimap is very intuitive). They appear to be delighted with the service. I believe they are using the maps for outdoor expedition/orienteering related activities.”

Using Digimap for Colleges in the Geography Department at The Sixth Form College, Farnborough»Context - college of 3600+ students»Geography department – 430 students»Current use of Digimap is largely class focused
(22 A-level groups) and evolving»Currently no A-level coursework – will be reintroduced
in 2016 when the A-levels return to a linear format. Therefore there is huge scope to expand our use of Digimap at this time

An example of the use of Digimap for Colleges:
Why use Digimap for this?»It is a local case study that we use to help students
build their understanding of processes in a familiar environment to them
»As such all case study resources must be generated ourselves
»Allows the use of both overview base maps and detailed analysis of the area

Selecting the map area »Firstly a base map is selected for students to annotate
(using map interpretation only) why Fleet might be destination for counter-urbanisation
»Digimap allows me to select the exact area that I want my students to focus on
»Not only does it develop their urban understanding, but it also promotes geographical skill competency

Examples of usage
When students are doing a project we teach them about the impact of the construction work on surrounding areas for instance: »We can get them to upload a 'suitable' site for their
proposed development and we can get them to consider things like site constraints, access, services in the road to be avoided, planning traffic routes while the work is in progress, information to be supplied to the Planning Authority (Block plans, Location plans etc.)
»Students can also see the orientation of buildings relative to North South - so important these days when allowing for solar gain
The construction department have been early adopters of Digimaps

Digimap for Colleges
Examples of usage
»By looking at maps they can also consider whether the area has been well planned in their view or if they can deduce compelling reasons why the layouts are as they are
»They can also try and think why certain plots have been left vacant (access, geology, mining, heavily wooded)
»They can also be used to explain the use of grid references aspart of surveying
