1	Evolution of A Mobility Project & Impact on Student Learning In fall 2004, a cross-disciplinary team of students developed a community asset mapping application for The Health Trust. This document follows the evolution of the project and presents student outcomes.

6	Feedback from Health Science Student Participating in Mid-Semester Test Just a few thoughts from our brief demo today. If anything else occurs to me, I will be sure to email you. On the drop down menus: would be nice to have an option of "Other" pertaining to the particular area we are tracking or monitoring. We should be able to type in what it is. Under the comments-currently the character count is 100-but perhaps could be increased. Also, if the interface permits, this area might be opened up to actually see more of what I am typing -- only because it scrolls left and I can only see a about 2 words at a time. Also, I found that in a very short distance, we had made many entries vs one larger entry...primarily due to the limitations in the general comments area. If I thought it was getting close to capacity, I would just hit "submit" and continue after walking a short distance. Consequently we spent maybe triple the time in entering all the info, esp the GPS coordinates, which collectively get pretty time consuming! It seems anyway we can enter in as much specific data as quickly as possible would be optimal. Perhaps a checklist...yes or no...or fill in the blank for some areas we can identify/quantifiy. For this block, how many street lights are operable (all) or if not (x number are out) etc. Are streets well maintained? (yes) (no) if no, enter in specific issues (cracked sidewalks; faded paint, etc) Abandoned cars? Homeless people present? Is landscaping well maintained? (overgrowth might encourage vermin, perhaps, or block stop signs; or may be perceived to be too dangerous to walk past at night.) The hope would be to get as much accurate data as possible. Not sure how you are using all the GPS data-seems like there should be a way to minimize some of the numbers-to work in a broader context. Like all the data collected for that particular time and day is coded or something; still keep it tight like a one 3 square block area...and the data is already input-still fairly targeted but not so minute. The street/cross street info is somewhat redundant with the GPS info. just a thought. Anyhow, it's a great project and I wish everyone much success!
