Hi All, For teaching high school I worked with Rob Langston (who just got the Canadian geographic award for teachers!) to find out what would A - be worth mapping and B- would fit into the curriculum of what they were going for. We went with mapping out what had wheel chair accessibility for businesses in Brandon as it didn't require a lot of editing, was valuable info, and could easily be audited. We tried walking maps, but found it easier that each student edited 3 business.
I suggested using something like street complete for android, or OSMand for future edits if we wanted to expand. (or for university students) Thanks, Keith On Sat, Nov 24, 2018 at 9:28 AM <talk-ca-requ...@openstreetmap.org> wrote: > Send Talk-ca mailing list submissions to > talk-ca@openstreetmap.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > talk-ca-requ...@openstreetmap.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > talk-ca-ow...@openstreetmap.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Talk-ca digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
