Urban Farm DB summary

Framing the school garden as an educational resource that helps students approach the natural environment and develop basic skills through interdisciplinary experiences, the L'Hort 2.0 project in Spain built a virtual environment based on the school garden to manage ICT content linking activities outside the classroom with course guides. It proceeded through an active, collaborative methodology in three phases: preparing and designing the web environment across six thematic areas, developing educational materials, and evaluating their usefulness in the classroom and effectiveness in the learning process. The project reports high student involvement in the learning process and improved assessment results that better reflected the skills students had attained.
