Abstract
Educawood is a socio-semantic annotation system intended for environmental learning in Secondary and Higher Education. It can be used to socially annotate trees and other ecosystem structures such as dead wood. Furthermore, Educawood allows the exploration of existing semantic datasets of land cover maps and forestry inventories as well as social tree annotations (all released as Linked Open Data). Teachers can browse these data to propose contextualized environmental education activities, e.g. finding and annotating singular trees. Students can go on a field trip and use Educawood with their mobile devices to submit tree annotations. Follow-up activities can exploit socially-created tree annotations, for example in virtual field trips.
