Fieldtrip - a case study based learning tool for the United Nations University

Company Lunar Logic Polska
Client United Nations University
Main features Location-based case studies
 
Excerpt

The United Nations approached us to build an application that would allow instructors to create case studies related to issues of global importance. Each case study includes locations (using Google maps), video or slideshows, text, and student feedback. A single case has multiple issues and each issue has a location, duration on a timeline, and text and multimedia.

Study

Using Ruby on Rails and agile development methods, the entire project was completed in one month and evolved well beyond the original vision. It came in on budget and under the deadline thanks to the efficiencies provided by the Rails framework and great communication between the client and the development team.

The current version is live at fieldtrip.unu.edu.
