| Summary: | The web-based learning platform "GLO KAL Change" (www.glokalchange.de), which is currently developed at the University of Education Heidelberg, Germ any, highlights four topics of environmental changes in terms of sustainable development. In interactive learning modules, adolescents aged 10 to 16 years learn to evaluate economic, ecological and social impacts of recent environmenta l changes occurring in different geographic areas worldwide and in Germany. Information is provided by re mote sensing data an d other media. Users compare, visually analyze and interpret satell ite imagery to obtain spatial information on the development of the three dimensions of sustaina bility. Subsequent to the example areas in the modules, learners examine thei r individual local surroundings at home on a satellite image mosaic of Germany as well as by perfor ming geo-scientific fieldwork on site. "GLOKAL Change" supports an original encounter by providing worksheets and methodology papers on various fieldwork methods, and by the application of a micro-drone for taking their own aerial imagery.
