GIS School maping App
A mobile app with highly user friendly approach encapsulating scientific process of School Mapping using Geo-Informatics.
Samagra Shiksha, Gujarat with support of BISAG, executed the initiative of school mapping and made it more standardized, transparent, participatory, low cost, interoperable, technologically reachable and easy to access with best results.
The information is presented on a map with options to select different base maps (like roads). Zooming in on the map highlights the schools in visible locations which are marked by small icons. Schools are also linked to a report contains useful information like the equipment and facilities, type of school, year of establishment and recognition as well as a rating.
The website also has a search functionality, but it failed to return any results when we searched for schools. Overall the platform is pretty useable, but slow. It would help to have a usable search function as the sheer number of schools in an area can make it hard to find a specific school. Note that for some reason the platform only worked for us in Firefox and not Chrome.
