The educational guide "In the Footsteps of the Warsaw Ghetto", created thanks to the cooperation of the Warsaw Ghetto Museum and the Foundation of the Polish Underground State, may be an interesting proposition for teachers and students who would like to deepen their knowledge about the Warsaw Ghetto.
The most important places in the history of the ghetto and the people associated with them are presented in an attractive way – illustrated with photos and short films. The included bibliography will be useful for those wishing to expand on the information provided. Questions to test acquired knowledge introduce a competitive element, popular with children and young people, allowing the guide to be treated as an educational game.
Features of the developed software include:
- making it easier to get to places you visit;
- automatic confirmation of arrival at visited places using geolocation mechanisms;
- providing knowledge about the places visited by providing descriptions and hints in test questions;
- the ability to check the level of knowledge acquired about the places visited using randomly generated test questions;
- various forms of communication enabling, among other things, the expression of one's opinion;
- maintaining an ongoing ranking of participants based on their results.
