Trail Shuttle App

Trail Shuttle “empowers users to achieve the desired learning outcomes by enabling them to customize one-of-a-kind, indoor and/or outdoor learning trails.” What that means, in essence, is that Trail Shuttle promotes self-directed learning via individualized, experiential paths. Three components, in turn, are involved to make that goal possible: a Web-based toolkit for creating learning programs as well as a mobile app that allows students to explore and experience those programs and a monitoring app that lets teachers track students' progress. Included in the mobile app for students are an augmented reality way-finder and code scanner; quizzes to test the student's learning; chat capabilities; and the ability to check in at “hotspots” and complete specific tasks.

Highlights:

CREATE, EXPERIENCE, SHARE & REVIEW!

Why limit yourself to fixed learning trails when you can design your own one-of-a-kind interactive mobile learning trails? 
This Exploring App is part of the Trail Shuttle interactive mobile learning trail platform. 

Trail Shuttle comprises the following:

1) Web-based Design Toolkit 

2) Exploring App

3) Monitoring App



The trails created on the web-based toolkit will be published onto this Exploring App. 
Use this app to explore the various user-generated learning trails created by others. Or better still, get your friends and peers to experience the learning trial you have created.
