GI_Forum publishes high quality original research across the transdisciplinary field of Geographic Information Science (GIScience). The journal provides a platform for dialogue among GI-Scientists and educators, technologists and critical thinkers in an ongoing effort to advance the field and ultimately contribute to the creation of an informed GISociety. Submissions concentrate on innovation in education, science, methodology and technologies in the spatial domain and their role towards a more just, ethical and sustainable science and society. GI_Forum implements the policy of open access publication after a double-blind peer review process through a highly international team of seasoned scientists for quality assurance. Special emphasis is put on actively supporting young scientists through formative reviews of their submissions. Only English language contributions are published.


Starting 2016, GI_Forum publishes two issues a Year.
Joumal Information is available at: GI-Forum

GI_Forum is listed on the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)

In the 2021-2 issue, the following three thematic areas are addressed: Advances in GIScience, Geo-Social Analytics, and Learning and Education with Geomedia. The contributions, for example, evaluate modes of generalization in animated choropleth maps; investigate different Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) architectures for monitoring wildlife in complex natural habitats; introduce an Augmented Reality learning environment for Geoinformatics education; investigate pedestrian infrastructure in a city considering the COVID-19 restrictions; or propose a customised workflow for place extraction from social media text and subsequent geocoding; or address various mobility issues for sustainable cities.

Abstract

In this paper, we describe an interactive learning environment for geoinformatics enriched by Augmented Reality (AR) that was designed by researchers and practitioners using a design-based research approach. In total, four AR modules were developed to engage learners physically, cognitively and emotionally in the learning process. AR is thus used not merely as a visualization technology, but also to initiate and scaffold learning activities. To address the known challenges of learning with AR, we designed our learning environment to be used by teams of students. This can counteract the problem of cognitive overload, or frustration due to technical problems. We examined our technological and pedagogical framework in an evaluation with 12 learners. The results show that our design did not lead to cognitive overload; technological aspects, such as usability, were also evaluated positively. However, we also detected possible improvements to our design, such as using AR glasses to free the hands for task completion. Overall, it was shown that AR is a good way to expand traditional learning opportunities with digital ones and to enable holistic learning experiences.
