Groups on Maps
Now that I’ve fixed the problem with the rounding and precision of users lat/lng coordinates, I’ve been able to get back to what I was actually trying to do, and that is allow users to select which groups of contacts are shown on the map. By default when you visit the map all your contacts (who we have location data for) will be shown on the map, there is then an option to tick/untick each group of contacts and the map is dynamically updated with these changes.
I feel like we’re getting very close to having the maps deployed onto a a ‘useable’ server – rather than just running on my desktop machine!
Over the last few days we’ve also been running a few presentations and workshops about the LabSpace tools, for the Widening Participation Fair (held at the OU on Tuesday) and hosting a vist from the Sussex Learning Network (SLN) – as we’re heading down to sunny Sussex to do a few workshops for them later this month and again in May. All the feedback we’ve had from the workshops has been very positive and people seem keen to find out more and test out the tools we’ve developed.
I also gave a quick demo yesterday of MSG at the mLearn (Mobile Learner Support Project)
