A mobile application proved effective in connecting children to nature
The purpose of this study was to test the efficacy of a mobile application in increasing connectedness to nature and imparting ecological knowledge to children in a nonformal environmental education (NFEE) setting. The mobile application (Agents of Nature), available in various parks in Canada and the United States, highlights the flora, fauna, and ecology particular to each site. The application, designed to foster children's connection with the natural environment, is free to the public.
