The paper deals with distance learning of geographic information systems (GIS) at the Department of Geography and Regional Development FNS CPU in Nitra using various educational materials and the JitsiMeet application during the COVID-19 pandemic. Students of bachelor study had GIS lessons in face-to-face instruction in a computer room for half of a semester. In the middle of the semester, the COVID-19 pandemic broke out in Slovakia and the face-to-face instruction had to be reoriented to the distance form of learning. The first month of distance learning took place with the help of textbooks and video tutorials, which were sent to students. The task of the students that month was to study a new subject, then students were sent a questionnaire where they had to express their opinion on learning GIS using video tutorials and textbooks, but also indicate whether they had facilities for online learning (PC, audio and video outputs, Internet) as well as to express their views and experiences with online learning as such. Although after evaluating the questionnaire, up to 71% of students answered that they had learned a new subject from the video tutorials and 57% also from GIS textbooks, several percent of students were still unfit for this form of learning. That is why we went to lessons with the free JitsyMeet app, which allows for video conferencing, screen sharing, chat, and more. The aim of the paper is to point out the perception of distance GIS learning by university students during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…However, since GIS technologies have been developed that are web-based and more userfriendly, the barriers for integrating the technologies in K-12 education are significantly lower today (Buzo-Sánchez, Mínguez & De Lázaro-Torres, 2022; Oda, Herman, & Hasan, 2020). Some of these user-friendly GIS technologies are StoryMapJS, ArcGIS StoryMaps and Tour Builder (Vojteková et al, 2022).…”

“…Regarding support for GIS in K-12 education, research states that effective approaches for implementing GIS in education are teacher training and professional development (Vojteková et al, 2022;DeMers, Kerski & Sroka, 2021;Oda, Herman & Hasan, 2020). However, research also notes that higher education in GIS for teacher training and professional development and Mitchell, 2019;Mitchell et al, 2018;Millsaps & Harrington, 2017).…”

Geographic information systems (GIS) have been highlighted as essential future knowledge and are increasingly integrated in people’s everyday lives through applications, tracking, and global positioning systems (GPS). Still, applications and re-search of GIS technology for teaching and learning in kindergarten to grade 12 (K-12) education are limited. Through a scoping review of contemporary literature, this study identifies and discuss possibilities and constraints for GIS in K-12 education. Data were collected and analyzed with directed content analysis, using affordances as a theoretical lens, to identify possibilities and constraints of GIS for K-12 education. The study highlight themes of possibilities and constraints for further investigation. The possibilities of GIS for K-12 education include accessibility, transdisciplinary, and beyond classroom; and the constraints include skills and attitude, higher education and support, and teachers’ knowledge. The theoretical contribution of the study is a conceptual model for how possibilities and constraints of GIS for K-12 education relates to reaching educational goals. Findings of the study have practical implications for teachers and other stakeholders on the use of GIS in K-12 classrooms. The study also provides several suggestions for future research on GIS in K-12 education.

“…A perspetiva dos docentes e dos estudantes sobre a eficácia, pertinência e atratividade dos story maps como recurso didático-pedagógicos permitiu-nos depreender que estas tecnologias são intuitivas e fáceis de utilizar (Vojteková et al, 2021). Estas características da tecnologia permitem que os professores não só criem as suas narrativas, mas também impliquem os estudantes neste processo criativo (Berendsen et al, 2018).…”
