REGIONAL LLL MAPPING INSPIRATION

Three regional geographical visualization approaches in the area of lifelong learning in Canada, Germany and Europe were inspiration for the MASON mapping approach:

• Canadian Composite Learning Index (CCLI), Canada• Deutscher Lernatlas, Germany• Statistical Atlas - Eurostat regional yearbook 2012, Europe

COMPOSITE LEARNING INDEX (CLI) - CANADA

MASON COMPOSITE INDICATOR APPROACH

Distribution of single and composite indicators to the Individual and Structural axis:

WorldMap – Harvard University, Center for Geographic Analysis

For the interactive display of MASON Composite Indicators was chosen

Harvard WorldMap tool after consideration of available online interactive

mapping services. WorldMap as an Open Source application allows free use

and display of created interactive maps:

• user-friendly administration interface

• implementation guide available

• choice of base maps: Google, ESRI, MapQuest, OpenStreetMap…

• feedback from Harvard WordMap team
