WINNER
|
HarperCollins Publishers
Collins Virtual World
The entry is very well designed to support teaching of geography in primary schools, for use by both teachers and pupils.
The judges commented that the GIS databases have been combined well with the maps. This allowed facts and figures to be related visually to the globe and for users to select their choice of information on the map and also deconstruct and create their own mapping. The judges felt that the interactivity of the product and usability for their chosen audience was excellent and very well planned.
Unfortunately Jim Irvine of HarperCollins Publishers could not attend the presentation and so his colleague Mark Steward received the award on his behalf.

COMMENDED

Global Mapping
Replacement Local Plan for West Lancashire Council
Their online entry provides public access to council policies on planning by linking their database to the mapping very effectively. The judges felt there was very good use of symbology and differing generalization at various scales and levels of mapping aided the representation. The layout and arrangement of elements to fit the screen size was also very well designed and the interactivity of the elements befitted the purpose effectively.
