Evans Week 3

Chapter 3:

I may have made some mistakes with the instructions for tutorial 3, since its not a very visually appealing app, but I couldn’t figure out where I went wrong with it when looking back through the directions. I had trouble figuring out the configuring for the 2D and 3D maps because one of the buttons I needed that was referenced in the book was within another section that wasn’t mentioned in the guide. I had to search for the answers, but it ended up being very simple; it was just in a group I couldn’t see. I like the look of the 2D map and 3D map next to each other. I also like the page sidebar because it makes it really easy to organize everything and its similar to working with ArcGISPro.

Chapter 4:

I had a lot of trouble with figuring out how to set a rule so that I could open the recyclables section with only a specific answer. The set rules button doesn’t show up when selecting the question, like is shown in the textbook; it is shown next to Behavior. The mobile apps portion of this chapter didn’t work well with my phone, since my location accuracy is pretty low. Luckily, I was still able to complete most of the mobile portions.

Application based on 3&4:

The work with mobile apps in chapter 4 seems like a fun way to add interactivity to a project. In thinking about art history again, I could create an app where people could note what their favorite pieces in a museum are, where they are, and add details about the pieces or their opinions through QuickCapture and AuGeo. Another idea is an app where people could report accessibility issues on campus, since there are quite a few, but different needs means that people notice different issues. Having a catalog from many different perspectives could provide helpful information for future work on campus.
