Presentria GO

Making In-Car Location-based Learning a Reality

  • Teachers can set up trips by pinning checkpoints on the Presentria GO system that is powered by Google Maps.
  • Students drive to these checkpoints, park their cars, and log in to https://go.presentria.com using their smartphones when they arrive.
  • Based on the checkpoint location, students will be presented with questions to answer, online content, YouTube/Vimeo videos, or PDF file for viewing.
  • Students collect points after they have answered the questions correctly in these checkpoints.
  • Teachers can set up the trip, and view the class' performance directly on the Presentria instructor portal.
  • Perfect for experiential learning outside of the classroom!
  • During the COVID-19 pandemic, parents can drive around the city with their kids to visit these checkpoints and still learn meaningfully without getting out of their cars for safety reasons.

"The Presentria GO system has demonstrated the feasibility and benefits of this active learning mode and served as a pillar in our desire to improve students’ learning experience during the pandemic and beyond."

Virtual trip option is available:
