The value of natural and cultural heritage, as part of collective heritage, can be acquired by geographic information systems (GIS) due to the multilayer approach of the spatial configuration.

Some teaching experiences, using personalized learning, distance learning methodology, and GIS, focused on education aims to integrate students and enhance their understanding of the heritage are welcome. Opportunities offered by WebGIS in heritage education to learning research and teacher education research also fit with the scope of this book.

This book is open access, which means that you have free and unlimited access Explores the potential of geospatial technologies to promote a transversal education between social sciences Disseminates research, good practices, and success stories in social studies education Highlights the value of geography and geolocation in promoting the identity of places and landmarks
