BCcampus highlights the SOILx project, which provides “rich, geo-located information about different soil study sites across Canada.” SOILx is one of the projects developed by the cross-institution Virtual Soil Science Learning Resources (VSSLR) group that was formed by Maja Krzic, associate professor in the Faculty of Forestry and the Faculty of Land and Food Systems at UBC. According to Dr. Krzic, the hope is that SOILx will serve as “an example for the development of other interactive, multimedia educational resources and encourage others to incorporate more forms of information technology into post-secondary education.” The goal of the VSSLR group is to harness cooperative and innovative approaches to teaching and learning and to enhance soil science education.
