Περιγραφή

Discovery Trail simplifies the process of combining technology with outdoor learning, offering a dynamic and interactive way for students to explore their environment. This happens with its app called “Avastusrada”. 

Avastusrada  is a digital tool that enhances outdoor learning. It uses interactive content tailored to various groups – like students of different ages, education levels, and interests – making learning more engaging. This tool is especially useful for environmental education centres and schools. The tool, allows teachers to create educational trails with tasks linked to specific outdoor locations. It supports the “bring your own device” (BYOD) policy, meaning students use their own smartphones or tablets to participate. Teachers can access and create trails using a variety of task templates, such as quizzes, open questions, and photo challenges. These trails are open-source, so any educator can modify and reuse them in new locations. The platform also features a real-time tracking option for teachers to monitor students’ progress and location during the activity. All responses can be downloaded for later analysis and feedback.
