Geocube – The world of Geography at your fingertips

Linkedin is a great site for professional networking and yesterday it led me to have a brief but very informative email conversation with Karl Donert (president of EUROGEO) about geography education outreach.  Karl led me to a very polished interface called Geocube.  Geocube is an interface that resembles a Rubik’s cube that allows a user to discover different geographical topics in an interactive fashion.

Primary interface of the Geocube

Once a general topic is selected an additional interface opens showing more specific topics of discussion.

Secondary interface of the Geocube

Within each of the specific topics (numbering 54) of discussion is written text with terms and definitions, as well as images and embedded videos. All in all a very comprehensive site covering the multidisciplinary aspects of geography enabling the education of the next generation.  The project is an European initiative from the HERODOT  Network for Geography in Higher Education
