Application of Virtual Globes in Education
View through CrossRef
Abstract
The advent of virtual globes and online mapping has generated interest in spatial representations of data among many non‐geographic communities, including educators and researchers who have very little to no expertise in geospatial technologies. In this article, we give a state‐of‐the‐art survey of existing virtual globes and review the existing teaching applications related to them. We focus on the four most popular virtual globes (Google Earth; NASA World Wind; Microsoft Virtual Earth Earth; and Skyline Globe), illustrating their various applications and comparing their capabilities, with a particular emphasis on educational aspects. We also explain the distinction between the virtual globes and various online mapping applications, such as Google Maps mash‐ups.
