Students in both the Fall 2017 and Spring 2018 semesters of IST 440W: Information Sciences and Technology Integration and Problem Solving worked to develop a web-based tour of the trees along Ridley Creek State Park’s multi-use trail. Under the mentorship of Professor Nannette D’Imperio, students used tree data from Excel spreadsheets (compiled by student researcher Bildine Massaquio) and photos (taken by Prof. Karen Theveny in Communications) to create an updated and interactive educational product. The work will be continuing in the fall to integrate the GPS-located tree database with the interactive quiz developed in both semesters.

In the Fall 2017 semester, the team was comprised of:  Abtin Toshtzar, Joshua Burton, Lisa MacDavid, and James VanTrieste.

In the Spring semester, the team was comprised of:  Austin Johnson, Devin Mader, John Navickas, and Andrew Sadik.
