Abstract
This paper describes G-Portal, a geospatial digital library of
geographical assets, providing an interactive platform to engage
students in active manipulation and analysis of information
resources and collaborative learning activities. Using a G-Portal
application in which students conducted a field study of an
environmental problem of beach erosion and sea level rise, we
describe a pilot study to evaluate usefulness and usability issues to
support the learning of geographical concepts, and in turn
teaching.
