Google Street View Tools (and more) for Remote and In-Person Instruction
Thanks to a CPP $24,975 Special Projects to Enhance Classroom Experience (SPICE) Instructional Innovation grant, has established ENV’s Advanced Design Computing + Sensing Laboratory, features an array of mobile mapping tools and a powerful Dell 5820 workstation. With these tools in AY21/22, Lehrman is conducting a pilot study to evaluate the efficacy of student generated Google Street View Content and Immersive Video for remote and in-person instruction.
