Thanks Lyan for the links of hdyc and osmfight. Hi Mueller, Glad to know that your are incorporating OSM in your geography syllabus. I also believe that OSM can be spread faster with this. I am trying same in Bangladesh also, planning for some training in geography or GIS departments in public

Hi Thomas, I second Paul idea, here in Indonesia, we often use HDYC [1] to see contributions of our student participants, surely spot check to see the quality also required. To make it a bit more fun and to make it more competitive we sometimes use OSM Fight too, to compare contributions. [1]

Hello Hello, I have been working slowly trying to integrate humanitarian mapping into my classes and students' education over the past couple of years . I am a Geography professor, but I admit I am a jack of all trades master of none (as I teach crime mapping, demographic analysis, GIS, etc.)

Hi, Thomas: I don't see a way to measure the time they are mapping. For example, they can make changes to the map during 30 minutes or an hour but upload them in only one changeset. Even if you ask them to upload every 5 minutes during 30 minutes, a lazy student could make just a house, upload

Oh very cool! Thank you very much for considering us for your class :) I know people have really good suggestions for your question, but the main consideration for me is judging or grading or evaluating based on the quality of mapping, not quantity. I just spent several hours last week
