Chapter 3<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, while not a very difficult chapter to complete, Chapter 3 contained a few instructional inaccuracies which made it difficult to complete. The Experience Builder was both informational and interesting, and I was very intrigued while messing around with different inputs for the 2D to 3D map companion. Especially analyzing natural disasters near or in Ohio, or separating out earthquakes by magnitude or the date they occurred. What I had the most difficulty with was the vague or inaccurate and outdated descriptions for certain locations within the software. For example, it took me quite a while to locate and update the trigger and action data sections. They are in very different places than described in the textbook. Additionally, I had an odd glitch where the Dynamic Content function only worked if I did not set the text box size to the one as directed by the textbook. It did end up working, but my text boxes ended up a little out of frame.<\/p>\n

Chapter 4<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 4 introduced many new concepts to me, and was completely foreign to me even with my experience in GEOG 291. All of the apps functioned slightly different than listed, and did not run very well. If this exact textbook is taught in the future, maybe reducing the amount of these apps used per chapter would be helpful? I found the process quite frustrating to manage myself, and often had to consult outside sources to fix glitches with the app or the data itself. One such example was the fact no matter what I tried in the editor, I could not get my data for Line Incidents to work in either app. The apps also frequently crashed for me, and overall it was an unpleasant experience to deal with. The most helpful and straightforward app was Quick Capture, which actually worked quite well!<\/p>\n

Potential Applications<\/span>:<\/p>\n

Experience Builder may allow those who are considering moving to states with higher rates of natural disasters to both analyze, consider their moving location, and prepare for future disasters. Additionally, Experience Builder makes it easy to compare to maps side-by-side and in the exact same location at the same time, making a side-by-side analysis of climate maps or other environmental changes due to climate change easier to monitor. Quick Capture would be a particularly helpful app for field work, especially with defined categories for each button (for example, a specific salamander species could be captured and added to a data set with just the press of a button, unlike software like iNaturalist which requires users to input necessary data).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
