Setup Information for Tutors:The student has to search for 3 maps with implemented navigation tools. The links to these maps will be sent to the tutor by e-mail. The tutor has to pick 4 or 5 of the most interesting maps. Criteria are: number of navigation tools, needless tools, too few tools, implemented zooming tools that the tutor has never seen before, etc. The links of the chosen maps have to be put on the discussion board "Zooming" which has to be created by the tutor. The student then has to write a short essay responding to the questions listed below. The essay has to be handed in to the tutor who has to correct it.

Search the internet for three interactive maps with various zoom functions. Send the links to these maps to your tutor by e-mail. Your tutor will collect all the links, pick some of the most interesting maps and post the links to these maps on the discussion board "Zooming". You then will have to look at these maps carefully. Write a short essay (ca. 1/2 A4 page) about the map's zooming tools. Questions like "Do you miss a tool?" or "Do you think that one or several tools are unnecessarily implemented?", etc. have to be answered for each map. Give reasons for your opinion. Hand in the essay to your tutor.
