Abstract

The didactic experience around Web-Mapping has, as target for the students, completing a digital herbarium about native species with the objective of understanding the closest environment. Methodology includes geolocatation, possible with the use of QR-codes, so that way the groups of students could work with their maps of the Faculty on their own devices, what make possible a situated learning. The results were positive with a 93% of success in locate and analyze the species, due to the use of Geographical Information Systems.
