Know Your World - Learning Concept - EdWare - Interactive Learning

Know Your World utilises our award winning three tier learning system, which enables the user to learn at their own pace. The Study Section - a valuable reference tool, The Teach Section - offers a guided approach to learning, and The Examine Section - an exam of all the topics covered.

Study Section
The study section of Know Your World is a valuable reference area and is ideal for the user to study and revise each area of our planet in detail. Satellite photos and photography are used to enhance the learning of each feature.

This section enables the user to have a clear understanding of the features of our planet before proceeding to the Teach and Examine sections.

Teach Section
In this area the user is presented with a guided approach to learning. The user takes the knowledge gained from Study Your World and puts it into practice. If the user makes a mistake they are given a hint and asked to try again, if they make another error the correct answer is shown. This enables the user to learn from their mistakes and continue with the learning process in confidence.

This section consists of point and click style quizzes of each topic, this involves direct map interaction with the mouse. The quiz is helpful and corrects the user in real time if they make a mistake, and shows them where they made their mistake. This process is illustrated in the screen shots below, the user is asked to click on the Sahara Desert (Step 1). If the user doesn't click on the correct desert, they are given a hint, for example the Sahara Desert is in Northern Africa (Step 2). If the user answers the question incorrect again, they are shown where the desert is on the map by highlighting it in blue (Step 3). Different hints would be given depending on the question asked.

Examine Section
The examine section of Know Your World is where the user is presented with an exam which tests the knowledge they have acquired so far. This section requests the user to type in the answer, so they also need to know the correct spelling of each feature. The spelling drawer can also be enabled to aid the user.

The users progress is tracked and they can review how they preformed at the end of the quiz. Their progress is also stored in the Know Your World database so they can keep track of their progress.
