Diversity Day & Geospatial mapping

Diversity Day

It's that time of year again and the LRC were manning a stand at the College's Diversity Day event last week.

We asked students to mark on a map where they come from.

One of our LRC assistants created a Tagxedo image of the places students mentioned.

Geospatial Mapping Resource


If you want to find out some of the areas of the UK where students were born, remember that you have access to digital maps of different kinds through the  Geospatial Data resource. You can add symbols and labels to the maps, plot routes, add layers and print off A4 maps. Access is available from the LRC electronic resources page on Moodle. There are also video demonstrations linked within the resource.
